Love this thread. I have one from today. Hugs Crystal xx
Dear other mothers in the park,
Firstly to the woman with the two horrid little children, why your oldest little boy took it upon himself to snatch a bag of crisps from my 9 year old, tip them on the floor and stamp on them, I don't know. Why your youngest decided it was a great idea to shove my 2 year old off the slide, I don't know either. But here's a hint for you. It's kind of your place to point out to your unruly brats that behaviour like that is not acceptable. Kindly teach your child some manners or don't take him to play with other children and be greatful that although my boys quite regularly beat each other up, they actually do have manners and would never even consider hitting little horrors like yours back. Secondly to the woman who just couldn't help herself, you don't know my 9 year old, so kindly tell me why although your child had no involvement in this incident at all, you felt the need to belittle my son about his reaction. Comments like "my god how old are you" are unnecessary. Yes he was being a complete drama queen and crying his eyes out, partly because he just couldn't grasp why anyone would be so horrible with no provocation but why exactly is that anything to do with you? Knowing how he would have reacted if it had been his 2 year old brother that had done that, I was actually quite proud of him for not losing his temper. You know absolutely nothing about him or why he reacted the way he did. Keep your judgements and comments to yourself and concentrate on watching your own kids. Leave mine alone because next time I might not be feeling so very worn out and pregnant and I won't hesitate to let you know exactly what I think of you and your interfering to your face.
