I am a mother and as such will defend my children to the ends of the earth.  It helps if they have done no wrong of course, but even so I may well make excuses for them.  What do you do therefore when the person you are defending them against is your husband, their father?  Have a bloody big row, thats what!  I am so angry right now, an emotion I very rarely feel.  All over a haircut.  Sounds trite, but to my son, it is the end of the world.  Oh god, I can't even get it all down on here, just need to let off steam.
