Am I a bad mom for laughing at my son?
The other day, I was playing whiffle ball in the backyard with my son and two daughters. He is 14, they are 16 and 18. We didn't actually have a whiffle ball, so we were using a tennis ball, which is obviously a lot heavier. Anyway, my son pitched it to me, and I hit a line drive straight into his nuts! 
He fell down holding himself, and I was so surprised, I just burst out laughing, as did the girls. My son was kind of laughing too, but his face was bright red, and he was definitely in pain. He had been talking a lot of trash about how men are better at sports, telling his sister she throws like a girl, etc. so I guess I thought he was kind of getting his comeuppance. Later I thought maybe I should have tried not to laugh, since I know guys can be sensitive about that kind of stuff. Am I a bad mom for laughing?
I have a 13 yr old and I never laugh when he gets hit there.
In that instance, I too would have laughed.
In the same kind of situation, I probably would have laughed too.
I would have laughed and he would not have been bothered by it.
You're not a bad mom. I'm sure I would have laughed, then cringed, then askedif he was okay. It's just a natural reaction to laugh I think. It's not becauee you were being mean.
I would never call someone a bad mom for something like that. It just happened. But I know my 14 yo DS is super sensitive and would be really hurt and I would apologize.
Thanks for your replies. I did talk to him about it just to let him know I wasn't laughing at him, and he just shrugged and said what else can you do but laugh in that situation. I was proud of him for having a good attitude. And relieved!
