[quote=Anonymous]Ds is 7 and has been picked on a couple of times by another kid in the activity they do a few times a week and have been doing since they were 5.  The other kid has anxiety and sometimes makes mean remarks to others as a coping mechanism.  I'm friends with the kids parents.  They are working on it.  Anyways, the last time ds was picked on, he told the kid to stop and when they didn't, ds went to their mom after the activity to explain the situation and ask that she say something to her kid about it. 
Now spouse and I disagree over whether this was the right thing to do

Spouse 1 has never experienced bullying and was always well liked in schools.  they think ds handled it great.  He told her to stop, she didn't, he moved away from her, she continued, so ds went to the parent to get it resolved.

Spouse 2 was horribly bullied in elementary school and is a little jaded about some things because of it.  Spouse 2 thinks that tattling to the mom will only make DS a target for the other kids.

So what say DCUM?   Which spouse do you agree with? [/quote]
