If I could...

Protect you from many stupid mean things I would. As a mother and as a wife if I could protect my loved ones all the time I would. Sadly I can't. I can't be at my sons school everyday to make sure bullies or sub teachers don't treat him bad and hurt his all ready extra sensitive personalty that the school counselor says he has. If I could I would go yell at all the mean kids and tell them "STFU you lil shit I hope your mom pops you one in the mouth!" But I'm sure that would get me banned from the school and some kind of anger management classes maybe even jail time. Sure my son does more telling on others then defending him self, but WTF the kid doesn't like to fight and he expects for the adults to handle the situation. He's 10 and he's not into sports. He's into building and painting legos. That's his happiness, not playing a sport that cost tons of money and gets him on the worst team in the league. Some don't seem to understand the skill and patience behind putting tiny lil pieces of legos together. The kid is a loner. Since day one I knew this. He always managed to wonder off on his own in social situations. It's because of this that my son is treated not so nice. He is a full time glasses wearer and he's chubby. But he has a big heart and would never sit there and actually harm another human on purpose although sometimes I wish he would just punch a mean kid so other kids could see and say ok let's not mess with him anymore. I've never fought with anybody. I don't expect him to either. I'm not a mother who's in denial. I know my son can be boring and can annoy people with his boring stories of legos and star wars. Atleast I know for sure my son isn't a bully who is make some other kids life hell or is fighter and hits every kid he comes in contact with.

The next one I wish I could shield sometimes is a grown man. Yes he is even older then me but his feelings do still get hurt. If I could rewind to the day where someone said "yea I call him that all the time" I would. I would pull that person to the side and say hey now look this is why you shouldn't call that guy that. But I couldn't as much as I know it's wrong and it stabs my hub in the heart every time he hears it there is nothing at all I could do. And like he said it's not like he has room to compete and change what was said. If it was up to me that issue would never come up.
