[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I'll probably get flamed for this, but I have a small DD that rough kids will target, so I make them cry. I don't scream but I definitely raise my voice and reprimand them. Either they get it and back off, or their parents hate me so much that they keep their kid away from us. It's win-win for us either way.

I know it's harsh but I got so sick of clueless parents who can't be bothered to teach their kids how to behave. Kids aren't going to learn boundaries unless other people enforce them. [/quote]

This is not "win-win." Your DD will get older but those kids will never forget you as the weird mom and the weird daughter. THEY will be staying away from YOU and your DD, long after the situation is resolved.

I feel sorry for the girl, OP. I know you have your own DC to think about but you could change this kid's life if you gave her some help instead of avoiding her. You can tell her that the rule is, no touching. Keep your hands to yourself. Maybe she'll get it.[/quote]
