Hissss!

This is what I feel like almost every single time Evan is discipling Liam. That maternal instinct to defend my baby kicks in and my adrenaline starts pumping. It doesn't matter if Liam is deserving of his time out or stern talking to. I want to crouch over him and start hissing.

Of course, I don't do this because I don't want Liam to get confused or think that I will always come to his rescue. I don't want to undermine my husband and when Liam does start calling for me, I always say "Listen to you Daddy, he is talking to you." And then I walk away because I start to feel like the cat in the above picture.

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem discipling Liam myself. There are many times where I lose my patience with him and I'm sure I sound harsh if someone else was listening in. And Evan is a great father who is extremely patient and loving.  As I have said before Liam is definitely in the terrible two's and usually always deserving of his timeouts, so why do I keep feeling like that overprotective cat!
