Posted: 6/23/2008 12:16:11 AM | | Okay maybe it's me, but just how old are you? falling out over your children? one rule when it comes to children is they fall out and make up quicker than you could believe me when I say that, so you may have fallen out with someone over it, but tomorrow the kids will be friends, that's how it works. Another thing kids hit each what they do, regardless of whether they are 2 or 6, as an adult all you can do is apologies to the child they have hit, example I am really sorry that Fred hit you, setting and example for your child, It sounds to me like you all need to be adults in this, sounds extremely petty, but hey that is just my opinion | |

| Momma bear defending her young.. Posted: 6/23/2008 1:51:14 AM | ^^^^^^^^^^^ I thought the op was much younger. Wow, op your old enough to know better. Still, what I said earlier still applies. Lead by example. You 'verbally' hit the other mom by calling her a name. Be really aware of all your actions in front of your kids, they are little parrots. I forget this alot even now, and hard reality hits when my daughter does something that she learned from me.
My daughter loves that country song "I've been watching you Dad ain't that cool". Not sure who sings it or if that's the exact title, it's a country song about a little boy watching his dad and wanting to be just like him. My daughter sings it and changes the words to mom and girl/daughter. It really reminds me of how much I influence her, not always in the right way either so I have to be aware. | |

| Momma bear defending her young.. Posted: 6/25/2008 8:42:17 PM | | I agree with the OP. I don't take any bull**it when it comes to my kids. Some parents are dropping the bar so low with their parenting that their kids are complete monsters. That is their right, but when those monsters come in contact with my kids then we have a problem. I raise my children to be respectful and courteous. If other parents allow bad behavior from their children, mine aren't allowed to play with them. Period. Life is too short. I want my kids to know I have their back always. We are a united front wherever we are. It's me and my kids against the world. And I won't hesitate to put a petty mom in her place. And I don't care who hears, If you're a B***ch then you're a B***h!!!! | |

Posted: 6/27/2008 8:30:17 AM | Ebony, do you think calling someone this in a daycare/school in front of little children is teaching your child to be courteous and respectful? You are their example. Wouldn't it be better to take the woman aside privately and tell her what you think?
How great does it go for parents to smoke and yell at their kids to never smoke - mmm I think there is alot of evidence that has shown that the child will more likely smoke, even if there's a chance of punishment. They learn by example. Calling someone a B***H in front of a group is doesn't seem to be showing how to be respectful and courteous. My kids also know I always have their back but also that I expect right behavour, I certainly would't send my child the message that he/she can do whatever and I will stand up for them.
I agree on parents lowering standards, but does that mean I have to lower mine? And the children aren't monster's, they are just being what they've been taught, it's the parents fault not the childs. Not that young anyway. | |

I would be exactly the same as you if not worse. My son is my world and when people upset your children they deserve to be told so and i would expect the same if i upset theirs **** the mums at the school not worth the hassle if they make u feel crap anyway lol. | |
