Stranger slaps a child!

Print

So this grandpa, 61 years old decides to slap a stranger’s 2 year old girl on the face 4 times… i mean slapped a child 4 times on the face!!!!! because the little girl, was cranky and lord knows maybe tired, crying on isle 7 at a Wal-mart store in Stone Mountain, Georgia.

I was reading this story on CNN and all i could think of is, what i would have done if it was my child. I mean he walked up to the mom, and said to her ” if you don’t shut up the child i will”. He came back grabbed the child and slapped her across the face 4 times, then said to the mom “See, I told you I would shut her up,” .

Oh , so help me God! We would have ended in jail together, i mean i would definitely forget this was a human being. I would pick whatever was on that isle and it would have ended up right across his face. How the heck would he have felt if someone did that to his sorry ugly behind.

As if the mom wasn’t embarassed enough/already. I mean do you think it is easy to get 2 year olds to comprehend what the heck is going on.  It is called the terrible twos for a reason.  I mean, sometime kids just cry. You know what i would have done you old man. I would have been understanding, felt bad for that mom that she can’t get that child to shut up. I would have shown some kindness, i have found that sometimes a stranger could get  your child to keep quiet, just by saying something nice to your child. Hey and if you could offer a nice treat, do it, of course ask the mom for permission first. Kindness people, just kindness won’t kill you. I bet this old man can’t babysit his grandkids .. i.e if he has any. Jeez.

Well another shopper held that sorry face till the police came to arrest his behind. He was charged with first-degree cruelty to children. I don’t know how much time he will get but i hope it will be a lesson to anyone else. Man, this aggravates me. If anyone should lay their hands on a kid, let it be their parent, and it should be on their bottom, not on the face, period.

What the heck was this so called Roger Stephens thinking! He has just won the meanest stranger award of the year 2009, Enjoy your jail time!

Eli’s Ear infection update..

Print

We are still taking the antibiotics till 10 days are up. The doctor called today to check up on him and to give us the results of the bacteria culture.
I wasn’t home when she called, she spoke to daddy. She has prescribed ear drops alongside with the oral antibiotics for Eli. I take it this bacteria wasn’t just going to go away soon.   When he wakes up we can still see some dry flakes from that fluid from the ears, so as usual mommy worries.

I am actually ok with the ear drops i remember we used some with Julian the week he had the tubes in. The ENT wanted us to use the drops for 2 weeks i believe to get rid of whatever was left in there. I will pick Eli’s drops on my way home tonight .

Talking about cleaning the ear, man it has been a pain. The moment you touch that ear, that poor child cries like it hurts like hell. So that is my least favorite duty at the moment.

So if you are reading this and are wondering how  can you tell whether your kid has an ear infection; look for this signs:

- Tugging persistently at the  ear
- crying when sucking during a feeding
- crying  when being put to bed
- may or may not have fever (  Eli didn’t have a fever with this infection)

I know this is redundant, but i can’t wait till we are done with this infection.
