Morning sickness and I'm not even pregnant!

I was lucky enough not to have morning sickness with my son when I was pregnant. But no one ever told me that I would experience it later...much later....five years later to be exact.  I am sure that all moms will relate once I explain why I have (morning) sickness now!  Being a first time mom to a five year old has it's challenges.  This is the age they experience a life time of firsts.  They being school, start playing in sports, lose their teeth, learn an abundance of new rules, encounter bullies, get into trouble by someone other than a parent, etc. It's an over whelming experience for a small child! However. It's just as overwhelming to a first time parent.  You have to send your child away every morning into a school much larger than daycare with older children that know too much. I thought to myself the very first day...it's going to be wonderful to see how much knowledge he will gain. I didn't realize that he would come home and tell me that the kids on the bus hit him and call him a little bitch.  Yikes! How do I handle that?  Or that he would have notes sent home because the pooped his pants (especially since he's been potty trained since 18 mths.) every day this week.  I didn't stop to think that he may not respond well to someone's rules other than my own especially if they seem futile in my eyes.  Then starting to play a sport for the first time proved to be more of a challenge than I had anticipated. I thought it would be good for him to mingle with other kids and learn discipline and how to work well with his team members.  Instead he is silently being ridiculed because his father isn't in his life to teach him "the game". Five and six year old's join a team so young to learn the rules of a sport and work their way up from there not to play to win.  Yet, I've experienced parents who push for their child to win instead of allowing other children to learn.  The coaches (thankfully) are trying their best to make it all fair.  During one of the latest games my son had a chance to shoot the ball but saw the other team trying to stop him so he ran to the other side to make the shot.  Some of the kids on his team criticized him for it and later refused to pass the ball to him.  Another thing I am not certain how to handle.  All these things added up = morning sickness (emotionally induced but none the less nauseating). Stay tuned for more single momma learning experiences.....
