Confession

When my kids do something wrong, I question whether or not a did a good job teaching them right from wrong. I almost always feel horribly guilty.

"Mom" guilt is a wonderful thing.

I have no idea how to get beyond that. No idea, especially when I know that deep down, my daughter knows that it would be inappropriate to kick another student, no matter what they said or did. If she knows, then why did she do it?

Hormones? Poor judgment? Maybe this kid had been giving her such hard time that she had just reached her breaking point? Who knows.

Either way? I need to stop second-guessing myself. It just makes matters worse, and can't possibly be good for my mental health.
