Okay helicopter mommy. Your daughter wold have been ridiculed at school for not taking a joke and then having mommy step in to lecture everyone instead of dealing with it herself.

I do not think it is cold at all and I think that is what is missing from raising kids anymore. Tons of smother mothers, helicopters, everyone gets an award or trophy, no one EVER loses, live at home until 30yrs old, Ugh!! Kids need to learn to handle themselves and stop running to Mommy for everything in their lives. THIS was one of those times. It should have been handled differently but instead the mom freaked out right next to her daughter condoning this type of reaction is normal because she did it too. Chest pains, 3am emails, anxiety, lectures in the morning - ALL condoning what the daughter did (running to Mommy) was completely normal and should continue to run to her in the future and Mommy will handle it.

Protecting your kids does NOT mean doing everything for them. It is teaching them to protect themselves. You can not always be there. If this girl was at another house, she wouldn't have had her mom to run to. What would she have done? If she was taught to take a deep breath and think for a second and NOT have chest pains and cry her eyes out the second something happens, she could have handled it much much better.

Just clean off your face and get the girls back since they were asleep. Fun fun for everyone

Clean your face off, go back to bed, laugh it off in AM.

Clean your face off and tell them that was not cool in the AM. Stand her ground. Not flip out but say she wasn't impressed.

After all this and the hearing the girls reactions, SHE has to decide to if she wants to continue the friendship.

Those posters are pissed because they took the post as an indictment of their piss poor helicopter parenting. They're angry their children do not have the social skills and ability to handle situations on their own. So it pisses them off to the high heavens to read anything from a poster who got it right. In their opinion, the post was 'bragging' and a slap in their faces. In reality, no one knew about how emotionally weak their children are until they showed their own emotional frailty and jealousy in their posts. The responses read like that of a 16 year old. So you can only imagine what they were like as parents.

I cannot believe these kids were acting a fool in this woman's own home. I think beyond the disrespect, prank or whatever, if you are in someone else's home, you behave in a respectful manner. That means not doing shit that would result in a mother getting woken up in the middle of the damn night!

Prank, whatever. Those girls should have known better and been apologetic from the jump. Not making excuses. Those defending them and saying the OP is overreacting? Y'all crazy. Those kids ought to have been hella ashamed and if it was my kid that did that mess, I would have been crazy apologetic because I taught them that shit doesn't fly in my home let alone someone else's.

My kids have had rude ass friends. They aren't welcome in my home. Period. Make other friends or go someplace else to hang out. This shit would have been a perma banning unless I received a serious apology from the kids and their parents.

Yeah. Because you said so. This post wins.

But who ends the story AND invites newbies to continue to stir things up simultaneously?

You know what?

Nevermind.
