Sure, if you know the kid. But you’re not part of my kid’s community simply because in a city of 800,000 your kid and my kid ended up at the same playground. Parents need to mind their own business. |
If you are at the park, you’re in my community. I will and do absolutely gently correct kids I don’t know, and I’m fine with other parents doing the same. If your kid is doing something unsafe in the proximity of mine, it becomes my business. I do not yell, I don’t touch others’ kids, and I work very hard to talk to other kids how I’d want my own to be spoken to, but yes, I will absolutely tell your child to stop hitting others with a stick. |
I told my DD to tell the mean kid that her mom found her in the trash and her dad isn't her real dad. The other parent was upset but it was hilarious. |
This happened to my 2,5 yr old son. There was a group of kids unsupervised who were all very young like him, but were fighting and pushing and just running wild. I had to take him away to other part of playground. There is nothing you can do
about kids of this age, they do not have lots of control, and those particular kids were with nannies who were just happily chatting with their backs to the kids, ignoring them. Couple of kids fell/bumped heads and only then the nannies turned their heads to look who was crying. i fell super bad about the poor kids, their faces were completely dirty and some were eating cheerios with super dirty hands while walking. I do blame parents who do not screen who they hire. |
If you don't want somebody else disciplining your kid, you need to get off your butt and do it yourself. |
They aren’t mean. They are kids who are still learning. |
You wouldn't even know if someone reprimanded your kid. You're not paying enough attention to see what they were doing in the first place you will most certainly miss the reprimand they got next. |
Talk to their parents. If they still misbehave then go on different times |
Those kids will get expelled from preschool |
Because parents don't dicipline their spoiled children |
This is ridiculous! I’m not avoiding a park forever to avoid a confrontation with a 4 year old over a slide. That’s just pathetic. And most of the time I don’t even know who the kid’s parents are. A quick “We don’t push” is all it takes. |
You don’t know me. I don’t want you speaking to my kid. You’re a weirdo with a power fetish. |
PP, are you one of those parents who are always on the phone neglecting their kids? |
