Parenting is Tough!

Being a parent is not all what people think it is who are not parents, it is a lot of work and a lot of stress at times! Today was one of those rough parenting days for me. I don't know if it is all the hormones or what but lately I have been an emotional wreck, my poor husband! And sadly, I think it all just poured out today...ugh!
So it is Wednesday which means we have JJ, Noah and her usually play pretty well together and I let them pretty much fight their own battles until I really need to step in and take control, usually they are really good about working it out. Well, this morning not so much. They were playing with a hair brush of all things and each of them had one to play with but of course the other always wants what they don't have and they do the typical trading/grabbing each others. I am just watching them knowing this is typical behavior, I turn the corner to walk into my bedroom and I just hear this piercing scream, and I know that something bad has happen. I turn around and its JJ screaming and grabbing at her underarm, she usually never cries and is always really tough so I knew it had to be bad. As soon as I walk over to them, Noah starts to cry too, out of guilt I am sure! I ask her what happen and she said Noah bit me!! I pull up her shirt and OMG yes he totally bit her to the point where she is bleeding and her poor skin is torn...my heart just sinks! This poor girl is hurt because of my son! I feel soooo bad. I turn to Noah and grab him put him up to my face and tell him NO we do not bite and sit him in his time out spot...of course he just cries and tries to get up! I am at a loss for what to do with him, he bit her two more times today not as bad as the first one but enough to make her scared of him whenever he is coming at her, poor girl! So I am so upset about it, and don't know how to address it other than telling him NO and sitting him in time out ugh! I do not want to be that mom who has the bitter! Tiffani and Wesley came over for a quick play date and when they left we ate some lunch and I had a break down, poor Ozzie was a little worried to leave me home as he was heading off to work. I think I just needed to get somethings out and have a good cry, Noah did not like to see me cry and would not leave my side for the rest of the day until he finally fell asleep! Now I will be researching all about how to not have the kid that bites!!
