[QUOTE="witzend, post: 105414, member: 99"] All I can say is that you are in good company. We all make mistakes, it takes a real mom to admit it. I don't know that I would jump into putting the tree back up. I [i]would[/i] carefully consider reasonable consequences. I don't know your house, so I don't know what that would be. He took your time that night and wasn't grateful. He also took your entertainment. Explain it to him, and have him give you some of his time with a chore. Make him fix your entertainment. But if it were me, I would tell him that I was sorry for losing my temper, that it's just something that we all do, we're all human, and you regret it but you can't undo it. Christmas is on, and you're sorry for threatening to take it away - because you really [i]are[/i] sorry. Ask him what he wants to do about decorating. Honestly, we haven't decorated our house in years. No one comes here for Christmas anyway, and we just sit here alone. Decorations would just make us miserable. Maybe a tree isn't what he wants anyway. Maybe you could start a new more sensible Christmas tradition. Big hugs... [/QUOTE]
