trouble......

ok, so i was party to some trouble today....and i do not know how it oculd have been averted.......the client came in, visibly pregnant with her 4th client.....eager to avoid a large weight gain with her 4th child......a 2-year-old in tow......i should have known that trouble was brewing when she commented that they were late.....given that the 2 year-old fussed until she stopped at mcdonalds to buy him a sausage biscuit......2 year-olds in charge of an agenda= trouble.......bingo....the mom required a hemoglobin....which meant a fingerstick...which meant a bandaid....and this chiuld fussed so about not having a bandaid himself that i finally relented and gave him a new one from the container on my desk......at which point this child pitched a fit to reach over to this bin to get out of it what he willed......anything and everything......and when his mom said no he threw himself upon my floor and screamed and kicked...until his mom saif thanks, but we have to go.....and they went to lobby......screams continued until she took him outdoors......and that is where i lost visual and audio......but an employee was pulled up to the health department in time to witness her thrashing the 'daylights out of him' as they say around here.....and she proceeded to call social services.....gentle readers......i have mixed feelings on this....as i did not witness her laying a hand upon him.......much as i would have liked to do so......this was the kind of child that one thinks to oneself......'why doesn't that parent discipline him?'.........and when she does she is so distraught that she goes overboard......it started when she stopped at mcdonalds.....2 year-olds shouldn't leave the house without being fed....no matter what they holler for......and given such a heady victory.....it is no wonder that he wanted a handful of bandaids next........2 year-olds in charge are a danger to everybody involved.......and the fatc that this is a 3rd child is doubly scarey........if i was told that she had a dubya 04 sticker in her window...i wouldn't be surprised.............
