My Son

My Son, what can I say about my son. He is 6 years old and at that stage in his young life where his mother just might end up taking his life from him (NOT LITTERALLY). He is a 6 year old 65 (maybe closer to 70) pound loveable, kid. Not only does he look like his father BUT he acts like him as well. And although this kids is genetically half Lallo he is 100% ANDERSON!(don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with being an Anderson) Isaiah is stubborn, thickheaded and strong willed all things that will make him a great man some day. JD's mom, Terrie has told me that Isaiah is just like JD when he was that age on more then one occasion, and if this is true (I doubt that Terrie would lie about anything) I don't know how she got through raising JD with out killing him! My son has these qualities that both do and do not work... he is a constant question (how,why,where,when), he needs to hang on me and no one else(he suffers from sever seperation anxiety or what JD calls being a Momma's Boy), he is a dare devil, and he wants every thing he sees. In this house it is Isaiah's way or the High Way (hmmm kind of remind any one of some one else they might know?lol). He realy is a great kid. Just sometimes he can get under your skin. I don't know if it his age, a phase or what but lately all he does is whine, complain and throw fits. He used to be very helpful and wanted to do things to make any one happy, NOW he is just the opposite, he will argue with me about doing the smallest thing. He was refusing to feed and water HIS dog (both kids and JD have a dog and they take care of their dogs I take care of JD's because he works) so I threatened to give him (Beast) away, only when I picked up the phone and pretended to call his unlce Blain and act like he really was going to send someone to come and get Beast did he go out and tend to him, Toys will not get taken care of untill I have them in my hand, headed towards the trash can to throw them away. Now we (JD & I) have gotten into this 'live and learn' thing with him, and it is starting to work (I know it sounds mean and cruel but trust me when I say NOTHING else works with him), Take tonight for example (this is also something that made me feel like complete SHIT and the winner of the worst mom EVER award) I was sitting here on the computer showing JD a video of this spooky mirror image on Youtube.com, any one that has gone on youtube knows that when your video is done it shows you similar videos. Well there was this one video and all it showed was a picture of a care driving on a road next to a field. Well Isaiah wanted to watch it and both JD and I (we both had already seen it) kept telling him "no you don't, it is scary" he kept persisting about it the more we would say no the worse he got untill he had his "Anderson" up and was having a full blown FIT. So being in this new 'live and learn mode', I said "Fine, here, watch it" and clicked it. Well for all those who have not seen this video it is one of those you watch this car going down the road for 2 minutes or so and then all of a sudden it flashes the scary face that screams at you (one of those stupid make you jump out of your skin things). Well, Isaiah jumped out of his skin and into my arms and started crying like this thing had jumped out of the monitor and was trying to kill him and screamed like that for about 10 minutes (he would start to calm down look at the monitor and start up again, I shut the window down right after it happened). Now I am torn between feeling like SHIT and kind of feeling like he deserved it, yes I should have put my foot down and not let him watch it (knowning it would scar the hell out of him)but then again maybe next time when we tell him that something is too scary for him he will listen to us.
