Ever since I started our no wheat low carb meals, I've heard nothing but whining and continuous complaints from O everyday after school. The lunchbox wasn't enough food. He watched friends wolf down pizzas and sandwiches while he sat there deprived. And the lunch I'd just spent the better part of my day preparing was all things he HATED. It's total drain of energy and mood.
This afternoon I was really tired and my legs were aching, but I spent it on my feet diligently working to make substitute 'breaded chicken' with almond meal, while taking care of a cranky toddler who wouldn't nap. I was also in a foul mood over some petty issues I'd had with some petty parents (some people seriously need to grow up and get some manners).
So when O came in and just started to open his mouth with a hint of dissatisfaction, I threw a fit. A full-blown - screaming, slamming doors and refusing to eat with the family - kind of fit.
I was so stressed and exhausted and it was one of those moments where I'd reached the end of my rope. But it stopped him in his tracks. And, at least until now, he's not suggesting I ruined his life by cutting the wheat out of our meals.The two older boys are trying to tip tow around me and show more love and appreciation.
I may have to throw fits more often.
