I was taking my son to his mums, he lives with me the majority of the time. We usually have a lot of fun together.
As I was taking him out of the house he refused to change from pj's into trousers, then refused to put socks on, and wear his shoes (preferring to wear his wellies), he wouldn't put his coat on, when I asked him to help me with his little sister by carrying her bag, he refused to help. When we got to the car, he threw a snowball at me while I was carrying his little sister, I asked him not too and he threw another one. As I was turning round after putting his sister into the car he was holding a big piece of iced snow, I instinctively knocked it out of his hand thinking he was going to throw it at me point blank. Sadly some of it went in his face and it made him cry, he then told me that he had just wanted to show me something cool.
He is 10 years old and has suffered some serious trauma in the last year, I am usually pretty chilled. I explained that I assumed he was going to throw it at me, as he had not listened to my previous instructions. I apologized to him for knocking it out of his hand and getting snow in his face, I'm feeling rubbish for making him cry.
