And then I would have beat myself up for it like you did. I just feel like we have to be so careful when talking to someone else's child. I wouldn't mind another parent saying something to my kids if they were out of line, but not all parents think that way. And I certainly don't want to get in a screaming match with another parent when they get mad that I said something to their kid. It is a tough situation. Rylie sounds like she is a lot like Camdyn. So usually, she isn't getting picked on. But I know the day will come...LeeAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06167670984567400117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267032086124825680.post-13652459648506376652010-06-30T10:17:35.199-04:002010-06-30T10:17:35.199-04:00I just wanted to clarify...that I meant if the oth...I just wanted to clarify...that I meant if the other mother wasn't around to witness her kids behavior I would say something to the child.

My first instinct would have been to say something, especially if the other mother was nowhere around to witness it. You make a good point though...we can't fight all their battles. Still...sitting here just thinking about it makes my blood boil. I probably would have said something. :)Sassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14400003894605006561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267032086124825680.post-64340552810114622072010-06-30T00:25:14.163-04:002010-06-30T00:25:14.163-04:00Hey Carol, my post for Wednesday is again about wa...Hey Carol, my post for Wednesday is again about wanting to protect our children.

I have always been shy and avoid confrontation also. I guess I am at a point where I have had enough of unkind behavior. There is no need for people to be unkind, especially when children are involved.<br /><br />Mama HenMama Henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13395372116439706880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267032086124825680.post-69550740472072980852010-06-29T11:58:32.131-04:002010-06-29T11:58:32.131-04:00Carol, I am so happy you wrote about this because ...Carol, I am so happy you wrote about this because unfortunately it happens all of the time. I have seen it growing up and I saw it as a teacher and now as a mom. I will, however, say something at the playground. Especially when the child that is being unkind is not being monitored by her own mom. You will se how quickly their behavior changes when another adult says, "be nice." I was always hurt growing up, because from early on I knew what it was to be a friend. There are a lot of cruel people out there and it truly begins from when they were younger. Like I wrote in my blog about the mom being rude to me and my daughter, people won't change unless they are taught early on or if they realize they need to change. I am still that sad little girl on the playground not understanding why some people can be so unkind. As a mother it breaks my heart. Little Chick is like yours, very friendly and outgoing. You just have to be there as a family, which is the most important thing. Next time please say something.Maybe it is the teacher in me or the mommy protector, but I will not allow another child to be rude and hurtful to my daughter in front of me. I think Little Chick learns from me when I tell other children to be nice. Have a good day!<br /><br />Mama HenMama Henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13395372116439706880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267032086124825680.post-24120085567696116082010-06-29T10:13:20.293-04:002010-06-29T10:13:20.293-04:00This broke my heart.

We want to protect our babies but they are strong enough to do it themselves sometimes. And how sweet that she still had fun. Your hubs was right... that's all that matters! She seems like such a strong and sweet girl, I don't see her running into this problem much!B Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13355582761039013864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267032086124825680.post-11824559521258863592010-06-29T10:11:07.550-04:002010-06-29T10:11:07.550-04:00::hugs::
