Child-rearing

[ladyjanelly]

There's a disadvantage to raising a kid of a different race than me.

I have failed my Kendra by lack of knowledge.

When I went to wake her up on Thursday her face was swollen.  One eye almost shut and the tip of her nose and her lips.  Like bad-swollen.

We tried benedryl.  We tried Ibuprofin.  We tried Blistex.  

Nothing helped.

Today while Sam and I were out at a cookout/armor building thing she called her grandmother.

Apparently that's how Kendra reacts to sunburn.

I feel like a bad mommy.

I may never have had a hand in raising kids, but even I know that child rearing (even 20 year olds!) is a learning experience. No two kids/people react exactly the same, physically or mentally to the same situation. Even Kendra didn't know what was going on apparently.

You live, you learn. Now you know.

Hang in there.
