Tomorrow I have to break my son's heart. Our long awaited vacation will have to be cancelled due to a blizzard. To say he will be crushed is an understatement. He has been talking about this trip and doing the countdown for weeks. The past few days I have agonized over this. I've shed tears and lost my appetite.
This is the chapter they leave out of the baby books (along with the one where even after you potty train your child you'll still be wiping his butt). Any time your child is disappointed, you'll be devastated.
I know that life is hard and that disappointment is a part of growing up but I'm still not prepared- he's only 4 and I try to do what I can to spare him from as many crushing blows as possible.
But sometimes you can't do anything to stop the hurt/disappointment. And that just SUCKS.
I'm going to need medication to get through the dating years...
