This reminded me off one time I lost my temper. I don't lose my temper very often. But when I do, it comes out in full force.
I was visiting my aunt and uncle with my family one weekend and my aunt had friend who had a child with ADHD. We were told about the child, and I was like fine, whatever.
Well the parents of this boy decided to take off for a while and left the child with my mother and father and myself (this couple didn't even ask if we would watch him which really irritated the crap out of me) anyway, the kid started having an "epsiode". He was running all over and swearing, so I tried ignoring him until he started hitting my mother. He even took of his shoes and threw them at her. Well when he did that I grabbed him by the arm quite hard and I said to him "if I ever see you do that again I will hit you myself." He just laughed at me, so i hit him.
My mother got upset with me because I hit a kid, but damn he deserved it. I don't care if he had ADHD or not. His parents also shouldn't have left him with complete strangers without asking if they would be so kind as to watch him for a bit and tell us what they do if he starts to act up.
I think I was more upset with the parents. When they returned my aunt asked them to leave because they should have left their child unattended like that.
