[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, your kid has been picking on hers and had to apologize and your description of their interactions is "historically her kid has problems with other kids"? You should say less because it just keeps getting worse.[/quote] I mean the narrative of being the victim. He’s not actually a victim but without revealing too much, she’s got a lot of issues surrounding her own life and intense paranoia that people are being mean to her and her kid. She’s in a lot of therapy etc but has these delusions that people are slighting her when they aren’t. [/quote] Op, you're well within your rights to minimize contact with the mom. You're not in school with these two boys--just let the teacher know that the two boys occasionally have fought, and that the other parent has highlighted their concerns to you, and you wanted to make sure that the teacher was aware. The teacher will do their job and deal with it if it's an issue.[/quote] Op: The mother is definitely more of the problem for sure, but she has sort of created a monster by really obsessing (since preschool!) who was mean to him and he therefore feigns sadness and then she goes on a wrath against that child. Even if the kid wasn’t actually mean to him, and even if he was actually mean to the kid! Example: her son took and hid my kids shoes and made my kid run around the rocks barefoot at camp and then ny kid made fun of his smelly feet, and then because her son was upset by the smelly feet comment I got call about the harsh words about the feet and it blows up into this whole thing where she wants to discuss how my kid needs to watch his words etc etc. it’s just a strange situation I want to avoid, hence not sitting next to one another [/quote] OP if this is really what is going on, the teacher will catch on super quick that the other kid’s mom is a bit of a psycho. Let the school handle it, preferably without them also concluding that you too are a psycho. [/quote] +1[/quote]
