[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op resurrecting this for anyone interested.  My kid apologized but has been being called names and treated poorly ever since then.  Things were said to my kid about how they should have never been born and everything came to a head.  Neighbor has called my kid a straight up liar, denied umbrella tag was ever being played and said my kid was just being mean and trying to intentionally hurt their child.   :shock:  my kid is clumsy and impulsive and definitely far from perfect but evil to the point of physical harm?  Um no. Sadly my child has now been pegged as the bad one and they deny that Larla would ever say something like that or they would have heard complaints from other parents.  I’m not so sure....maybe Larla now knows how her parents feel so has a free pass to be mean to my child.

This is such a mess - now I feel like neighbor relations are awful and my kid will be harassed and judged constantly.  Anyone ver go through this?  Words of advice are more than welcome. [/quote]

Op I’m honestly wondering if there is another piece to this story bc this just seems strange.  If neighbor family is truly harassing your kid (for no reason) then you march over there and tell them that until they can control their crazy a little better they need to stay away from your kid.

If your kid has anger or behavior issues, try to address them.[/quote]

Definitely not saying my kid is perfect and whenever they have done something out of line we do address it.  The umbrella incident we talked about at length - about thinking things through before we do them and could it result in getting hurt, I’ve addressed walking away when upset etc.  what really bothers me is they somehow think my kid is a sociopath and that their Larla has done nothing wrong when my child has come ho e in tears countless times from mean words.  I guess this boils down to clear parenting differences...I think all kids can say mean things sometimes with a rare exception and as parents we need to address that and use it as a teachable moment.  Instead this parents called my kid a sociopath and a liar and attacked us as well.  And they live on our street so we can’t avoid them....do we really just have to suck it up and live with this hostility!  [/quote]
