One day the mother told me they are afraid of me. Hmmmm, really? Funny, because they still live at my house EVERY FREAKING DAY. Maybe it's not fear. Maybe it's called RESPECT.<br /><br />Now you got me started, girlfriend.....Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18000815937078399278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323297981944211492.post-10903019782994532882010-05-07T01:32:32.992-04:002010-05-07T01:32:32.992-04:00important it IS ... not was...

The first time...Oh, I read this with such empathy. The first time Andrew encountered a playground bully was at the splash park, when a 5 yr old girl put her FOOT on my son's little 2 yr old belly and PUSHED him WITH HER FOOT out of the way and then looked at me (when all he did in response was just looked at her all curious) and actually said, "Could you DO something about your child!?"<br /><br />Oh... it still raises up the hair on the back of my head when I think about it. We certainly have a natural momma-bear instinct. <br /><br />But your story took a surprising turn, and I, too, felt very sorry for what must be going on in his home. No four year old should already disrespect his momma or other women like that. Seems like he's seen that disrespect modeled for him. So terribly sad.<br /><br />(Oh, and I'm high-fiving Cati too! hahaha!)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02594401190299002611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323297981944211492.post-21855735063101139672010-04-29T20:50:56.669-04:002010-04-29T20:50:56.669-04:00I'm just gonna hop over here to respond to you...I'm just gonna hop over here to respond to you:)<br />I guess my regime sounds severe, but I am trying to lower my cholesterol too. and I am so sick of migraines really if I could saw my head off I would.

It scares me to see how kids behave today...not that all are bad but it seems lilke so many are.

I would get after my daughter too...but yeah...I would be proud of her too & smile :) <br /><br />I actually did run into a little 3 year old & 5 year old dumped off at the park last week!!! The mom pulled up & kinda got after the daughter when she saw I was trying to help her...& I couldn't see far enough to get her license plate to do anything about it. I wish I would have but I was afriad the mom was going to give the little girl enough trouble as it was. So it was a VERY sad trip for us too. It is soooo hard to think of that those kids are growing up like that! My heart is broken for your Mama at your park. I am sure she is worn out & then it really won't get better. Makes me just want to pray pray pray...thankfulness for my kids...& big requests for those families. <br /><br />But I still am proud of Kati...she has confidence!!!Libbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04707633636581398829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323297981944211492.post-23565593982532041562010-04-29T00:32:34.189-04:002010-04-29T00:32:34.189-04:00I believe Cati's yelling was a little bit of a...I believe Cati's yelling was a little bit of a natural consequence for that little boy! Go Cati! I teach pre-school and that would've been one of those times I would've gotten on to her on principle, but not so much really because inside, I woulda been cheering her on!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13433479698031191653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323297981944211492.post-57456140604321471552010-04-28T18:15:56.009-04:002010-04-28T18:15:56.009-04:00I remember being so frustrated(read: angry,protect...I remember being so frustrated(read: angry,protective,full on momma bear) with a child who spent wayyy too much time at our house one summer, being bossy and in our kids faces... turns out she was in our yard because no one was at home all day at her house. For every child in the playground there is a story and not all of them are the good kind! Oh, and I'm sure they were totally checking out your playground fashion sense!!Katharinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06855516868480135076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323297981944211492.post-34079262320247149922010-04-28T17:42:19.406-04:002010-04-28T17:42:19.406-04:00oh my heart broke too. At first I was mad, I have...oh my heart broke too. At first I was mad, I have had to talk to kids like that. But then your right a compassion kicks in and you wonder, if he is spoiled or rejected? You do wonder what goes on in homes. If I think about all the abused, neglected children of the world I get nothing done, I just cry about it. If there is something on TV like when they showed the faces of children in Haiti, I turned to my hubby and before I could say a word he said NO. He knew I was going to want to adopt one. It is in us mothers isn't it? I have stood up for kids being yelled at, I mean really abusively yelled at in the store. But on the other hand I know where the mom is coming from too, a day of frustrations, all culminates by the 8th tantrum at target and you lose your mind!Prudencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09022571627691517049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323297981944211492.post-38009969604962574802010-04-28T16:50:32.311-04:002010-04-28T16:50:32.311-04:00I am a supply teacher in the elementary school sys...I am a supply teacher in the elementary school system (Kindergarten to grade 8) and I encounter children like this on an almost daily basis. I find that these children are not evil but rather ignored. They are not loved the way some of us love our children. The fact that the mother of a 4 year old wasn't right there with him is very telling. When my children were 4 and at a playground I was right there watching them to make sure that they were safe and well behaved (sharing, taking turns etc.). I too feel sorry for these children. Just today, I had a child that had a can of coke in his lunch-that's it-just coke. Not a sandwich, not a carrot, not an apple, just coke. How can a child survive a day without eating? Oh the stories I could tell!!Pattynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323297981944211492.post-68838423121622033002010-04-28T16:25:49.959-04:002010-04-28T16:25:49.959-04:00My eyes widened, and I actually, really, truly gas...My eyes widened, and I actually, really, truly gasped in horror a couple of times as I read about Mean boy. If it were my sweet little boy who acted so horribly, I would so appreciate being told. I taught high school, and I was so tired of parents asking me (who was just a few years older than their kids) what to do with THEIR defiant, rebellious, won't work,won't talk to them, etc, etc... but is a really bright, sweet, etc, etc child. I always really wanted to say, "Well, go back to when they were one and two and three and four, and start teaching them how to behave, to have good manners, and that you are the boss, etc...." I hope mean boy was just having a bad day, and I'm so happy to hear that Cati and mom were able to commandeer that ship :)waitingforryderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234800550496936573noreply@blogger.com
