That can absolutely backfire on OP because they are past the point where anyone on that text just thinks OP’s son is simply loud and hyper. They are at the point where they make jokes about OP’s kid because it is better to laugh than to cry thinking about the even he will ruin. Any of them could have sent that text and they will circle the wagons around the tester now that they don’t have to pretend with OP any longer. |

Why do you think that? Please elaborate using detail, fact, logic, and persuasive reasoning. |

| Yeah the moms response was rude. I would seriously evaluate the time I spent with this crowd, ages of your kids (sounds like they’re still in the phase where you are doing play dates + adult supervision) |

| Op, how old is your kid? My son was loud and a handful at 3-4, at 5 we got him into the right school and he settled down a lot. Now at 6 he’s delightful, engaged, and the life of the party - in a good way. He’s in a new school this year and he’s made a ton of friends despite distance learning, and he is truly thriving. It turns out a lot of his excess noise and hyperactivity was frustration - he was bored and tired of having to be in a class with kids who were below him in academic ability. Now he’s with a bunch of kids who are similarly smart and he is thriving. |

Maybe the rude lady was downplaying it, but she told OP "he was really loud last time we were together." If that's her biggest complaint, she needs to pull the stick out of her azz. You'd think she would say "Larlo bit Atticus on the cheek and tried to cook Hazel's guinea pig." |

Really loud enough that Advil made sense as a joke. Going home from A play date with a headache never endeared someone’s kid to me. |

Jokes are often hyperbole. |

| I'm sorry this happened to you, OP. I have "that kid" but he's been kicked out of all activities and we basically stopped trying to engage him with peers for now. It hurts to see friends with kids the same age all hanging out but even though they have stopped inviting us, I would be crushed if one of my friends or even my acquaintances bad mouthed my child that way. Be kind to yourself. |

You handled it better than I would have. I would now stay away from these people. |

Would love your expert take on how black women or Asian men or whatever you are handle it so much better. Surprised you didn’t throw “Karen” in there since all white women are trash, you racist misogynistic troll bait. |

Wow, what a total non-apology. "Not personal." GTFOH! This lady sounds like a real ass. |

It's crazy that this is a grown up woman picking on a kid in front of other grown ups in a way that encourages them to join in and somehow your kid is the villain.
She apologized and I can see you need to try to let this go but man, that rankles. Honestly, I would reply to her apology with the following: My son may still be learning to control his actions and his volume, but you are an adult woman making fun of a child behind his back to other adults, for laughs. |
