[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Battle over toys at the playground among young children happens, and I suppose, is to be expected. However, I'm appalled that you sat there and did nothing when my toddler tried to engage with your 4/5 year old daughter, and her response was to scoop up all the toys and scream 'NOOOOO!' in my toddler's face. When my toddler reacted by swatting your child, I immediately intervened, got on your daughter's eye-level, apologized to her, made my toddler apologize, THEN left the scene to teach my toddler that hitting will not be tolerated, period.

Would you be a parent the next time and teach your daughter that all children are allowed to play with toys found at the playground, as this is community property, and screaming in another child's face is inappropriate?

Signed,

Annoyed Mom

[b]OP,
I read your post, and I scanned the responses on page one. I'm not surprised. Parents that post here do not parent. But they are the first ones to be all hypercritical of anyone else's parenting style. It's great that you are teaching your son right from wrong. I'm sure there are parents that appreciate it, I know I do. It's much easier to be like most of the moms on here. My only advice to you is to lower your expectations of other people. That's what I've done and it does help, also not easy, but it helps[/b]. [/quote]

You also clearly only have one child who is a sweet infant, adorable baby or precocious toddler.  Clearly.[/quote]

Lol, close! I have one. He's 8yo and we are struggling with his behavior at the moment. But he's great with other kids, he just disrespects dh & I at home, or out in public. I'm not planning on lowering my expectations of his behavior though. And who cares if I have one or a whole litter? We decided to have just one because we didn't want anymore. Kids put a lot of stress on a marriage. We realized that early on and decided not to have any more. Does that make me less of a parent?[/quote]
