[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Yeah no. You protect your kids. My DD was at the playground and a child won’t stop picking on her. Telling her nicely not to do it didn’t work. She actually made an angry face and said you make me so angry to me. Then my DD went onto a very tall slide and this child followed her and you could just tell she was about to push her off that height and could really seriously injure her. I hoisted myself up to level st the child’s face and said loudly and sternly, no pushing. You get me? And when she nodded scared I said again you understand me? I rather be the weird mom then a concusses child. [/quote]

Not the original poster with the DD[/quote]
