I'm so mad at her

post #1 of 15
Thread Starter 
Two of Haley's friends came over to the house and she asked if she could walk to their house. I told her no because they don't have a phone and it is too far for her to go when I can't leave the house (because of Chloe and Zach napping). So she goes out to play in the yard with the girls and I sat down at the computer. About 15 mins goes by and I decide to walk to the mailbox. I got outside and Haley was no where in sight. I walked into the woods behind our house and yelled for her and walked up to the road to look for her. I was pretty sure I knew where she was, but still was really worried. I called Mike and told him that Haley was gone but that I think she walked up to a friend's house even though I told her no. He said he would ride by their on his way home. Stacy got here about 1/2 an hour later because she left work early so I took her car and went to look for Haley. Not only was she at these girls' house but she was inside! These are the girls who gave her lice twice and we told her no way no how was she ever going in their house again. I was so angry. I screamed at her the whole way home, told her she was grounded, and threatened to shave her head if she had lice again. I made her call Mike when we got home and tell him what she did too and she is so upset. She won't stop crying and I feel so bad for her but I'm still so angry and I'm even more angry that she doesn't seem to understand why what she did was so wrong.

Oh, and on top of that Haley apparently burned her hand on a curling iron (she has a blister) while at their house! What the hell where three second graders doing with the curling iron on? I asked Haley where the girl's parents where and she said "I don't know. I think I heard their mom in the shower."

Elaine you have all rights to be upset with her.

I would be screaming and busting her rear too. Grounded and stuck in an empty room. She did something after she was told no. She did two things after she was told no I would double the punishment.

I hope your night gets better!

I just realized how many typos there are in that post.

I got my "were"s and "where"s and "their"s and "there"s swapped around a little bit.

I would be upset too that she did what she wasn't suppose to do and upset that no matter what we tell our kids to protect them, they sometimes just don't listen or understand.

I hope she learns her lesson this time. The world is just too dangerous for her to be going off like that on her own.

I'm sorry Elaine. I would be P.O.'ed too! I totally agree with you. She has to learn to do what you tell her to.

The worst part that I was torn between being really mad at her for not listening and putting me in a situation where I couldn't go find her and wanting to protect her from the worse punishment she would get from her dad.
On one hand I wanted to spare her the yelling he would do (he can be really hurtful and scarey when he is angry) but on the other I knew if I didn't tell him what happened she wouldn't get how serious what she did was.

It is understandable you feel bad, but you have to make sure she knows how dangerous that is. With all the missing children, it is just too much to chance!

I don't blame you for being angry. I read those amber alerts everyday and it is very scary what can happen to kids who take off on their own like that. I'm sure that scared the life out of you.
