Yes!!!  Of course!!!  Let it go, OP.[/quote]

Do you let your kids say mean things to other kids?  Would you "let it go" if your child called another child stupid?  Would you be upset if your child's friend put a note in his backpack telling him that he was stupid?

Kids are allowed to express themselves, but I hope that parents are teaching them that it's not okay to say hurtful things.  The kid could have written a note that said, "I'm mad at you, Mommy," and I would have no problem with that.  But name-calling is not okay in our house.  Personally, I would tell the kid that I understand that he was mad and frustrated, but he needs to find a better way to express that, because what he did is not acceptable.  [/quote]

Your poor children. [/quote]

NP here.  No, it is going to be your poor children when they call the wrong person "stupid" and get their blocks knocked off.

A kid is unhappy about a decision I made and they want to discuss it - I am all ears. But I am not going to be verbally abused by anyone - especially someone who still needs me to remind him to shower or wake him up in the morning.

Respectuful treatment of others begins at home.
