Was it the right thing by my mom ?!

Was it the right thing by my mom ?

its a very funny incident. i was very scared of needles n injections that doctors use.when i was just 8 yr old, my mom took me to doctor for injection. i was not aware of that, but when i came to knew that i started shouting very loudly
it was impossible for doctor to give me injection, so my mom had to clamp her hand on my mouth to smother my screams. she kept her hand tightly pressed on my mouth until doctor was finished with his job.if she wouldnt had covered my mouth, i would have created a scene out there coz i was screaming really hard.this incident really makes me laugh till now
and what more, it was winter season that time and my mom was wearing thick skin tight leather gloves.
.thank god i didnt had a blocked nose that day.do u think that my mom did the right thing at that moment? n why? i know i m asking it again,but i dont have anything else to ask. so i m reposting it,hoping to get answers from those who havnt read it.i really cant get any other question to ask.

given that you were 8 years old and probably a pretty good sized kid (my 8 year old daughter comes up to my shoulders and is only 40 pounds away from outweighing me!!) then she probably had no other choice.

moms do what they have to in order to control their children. being that talking to you would have done no good in quieting you down-she did the right thing. you weren't hurt in the situation (well besides the needle poke-lol) and the dr got done what he needed to do.

i've had to practically sit on my then 5 year old daugher (i have 3 total) to have her shots done for school and i didnt feel bad about it at all-the dr needed to get it done or she wouldn't have been able to go to school.

your parents will do alot of things you find strange but as you get older and especially when you have your own kids-you'll look back and totally understand why
