At the library today, some little girl told my 4 year old to leave her alone, she doesn't want to play with him, and to go away. Meanwhile the mother is sitting there pretending not to hear. My son was playing as part of the group of kids, and since I was watching all of it closely, there was nothing that I could tell to cause the little girl to react that way. My son, who is usually very chatty and playful was stunned into silence. I could tell he was embarrassed. He didn't wasn't to play anymore after that.
To the mother of this child, I hope you're reading. Teach your child to use kinder words, because in that moment, she was being a mean little shit. |

Oh good god lady. It's going to be a long hard road for you. She was a small child. You're probably in your thirties. You just called a preschooler a shit. Who needs to grow up?
Life's tough, get a helmet. Maybe your kid is annoying. Maybe he smells. |
| This is hysterical! |
| I certainly would have corrected my child if he were that rude and mean. Kids never learn manners and appropriate social interaction if the parents permit them to behave like little thugs. That said, it's also worth using this as a lesson for your son that he needn't take things personally. 4yos are often ill-mannered and capricious. |
Said the parent of a bunch of shit heads. |
| How old is your son OP? |
She said 4 in the OP. |

OP here. Little kids can be shits too. That usually grow up to be adult assholes.
You must have a mean girl (or boy). I hate parents like you. The apple never falls too far from the tree. |
Sounds to me like the girl was being assertive. I'm not in the habit of telling my daughter she needs to accommodate the desires of males, so I can support that. |
| I don't see anything wrong with what she said. I hate the idea that girls are pressured to be people pleasers at such an early age, OP teach your kid no means no. |
|
Nothing about what she said was rude or mean. She was being assertive, which is good for children to be--especially girls. Maybe her tone was bratty, but most preschoolers experiment with bratty tone from time to time. Her mother was probably proud that her daughter spoke her mind. Many parents like to let children figure out their own social issues.

+100 Tell him to put on his big boy pants. |
I don't think this kid is one of those who only takes a bath 1x per week or has a 'rinse' only day, no soap or shampoo. |
|
OP here. Please. No means no to what exactly? He was there before this girl arrived. He didn't ask to play with her. All the kids were getting along fine until this child came along "asserting" herself for no reason other than to be a brat.

So, you are upset that a child told your child she did want to play. You don't like the response and people are shits, assholes and you hate them. LOL, ok. |
