What is the maddest you've ever been with your kids?

[RoseRed]

My brother used to get his head stuck in the banister railing all the time. he just couldn't understand how dad would get it UN-stuck, without removing the rails.

He also had this strange fastenation with sticking things up his nose at very inopportune times...like the white decorative stone that caused a massive nose bleed while he was on the very street corner while my mom was working as a crossing guard.

Prolly the worst anger that my mom ever encountered due to me was when she arrived home from a week long vacation with her family to Myrtle Beach, and Bro and I had to sit her down quickly to let her know that a police officer would be stopping by for some info for an impending court date, as would one of our friends mothers with hospital bills for her to pay.

A close second would probably be when I was caught at the Red Roof inn the morning after the Senior prom, when I was supposed to be at a friends house. To make matters worse, my choice of words could have been better when she pulled up next to my car just as I was about to leave with my girlfriend and said "Ma, what are YOU doing here?"

yep, them two got her pretty mad. I still remember thinking to myself "She's literally going to explode".

Your mother is a saint.

I never really made my mom mad, I was a pretty good kid.

Now my brother on the other hand...

Once day she came home from work and the house was a wreck. She stood in front on the TV and calmly asked us what we had done all day to leave the house looking like it did. She started lecturing about chores and responsibilities and my brother leaned over, looked around her and changed the channel on the TV. I thought I was going to die laughing....

I was pretty good because my parents had the best solution. Take my horse away. I acted like a twit, they threatened to sell the horse.

Now my brothers on the other hand...I know my mother almost killed them several times for the stunts they would pull.

The maddest I ever saw my dad at my younger brother is when him and a friend decided to break into a local factory. They triggered the alarm system, and the police showed up. Brother couldn't associate with that friend anymore.

Oh where to begin......

I think the madest I have every been was when my son (15 at the time) was saving to go on a trip with his scout troop. I told him I would pay 1/2 of all expenses if he saved and tried to earn the other 1/2. If he worked hard and didn't waste his $$ and still didn't have the other 1/2 I would cover it. He agreed and did all sorts of yard work for neighbors, painted one elderly neighbor's garage and was doing pretty well.

Then he goes to the mall with a friend and his friend's mom. I gave him $$ for lunch. He comes home having spent my money and some of his on war game stuff!! I said what did you use for lunch $$ and he said so and so's mom paid for lunch. I just lost it. I can never remember being that made my entire life.

Basically I told him he was lucky I had already paid for the airline ticket but that was it. He was going to have to come up with the rest of the money for the trip. I was not even going to honor the 1/2 deal since he choose to waste his and my money on garbage stuff. Plus he lost his allowance for the rest of the year.

It was hard but he came up with the $$. He couldn't buy much in the way of trinkets, but he wasn't sitting out side of museums waiting for the troop because he didn't have the entrace fee either.

The maddest I ever got with my son was when I found out he had been lying to me for six months to hide the fact that his father had fled Maryland and moved to Georgia. His grandparents to him to his "Dads" faithfully every other weekend, when in fact he was just going to their house. I was crushed that he would lie to me, but what could I do? He was just a pawn. No punishment. His dad punished him enough by putting him in the middle. Oh... and he was only 8 years old.

Does he still see the said Grandparents and father?

Yes, Master Well's is a genius. He told them to communicate with me better and that was the end of it.
