[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here...it is a very small private school  Other mother is an employee there.  I didn't really see any other way around writing the note to both of them.  i want the principal to talk to the playground monitors BUT I also wanted to let other mother know my concerns since she is at the school every day.  I didn't want to just go to to other mother...She and I have talked about this issue a bit before...I wanted to tell school authorities so they monitor playground more closely and I didn't want to hide this note from other mother.[/quote]

But then you had this really hostile reaction to her  and I could not see why. She was not defending her DS' behavior. You are over reacting.

While your kids may not be name calling, they are ruining the play project of these other kids, repeatedly. They clearly get some kind of charge from making them mad. In other words, they are intentionally provoking them. This doesn't excuse what this other kid did but explains his frustration. He handled it wrong. But your kids were trying to make him angry, and they succeeded.

I still don't see why you went to the principle. The fact that the other mom works at the school means you went to her boss. Thats even worse.

You are going to lose this round. The other mom is probably well liked at the school. I'm guessing from the way you came off here, that you aren't so well liked by the administration, especially if you go to the principle about a playground tiff.  The only way to handle this at this point is to advise the teachers of the dynamic, tell your kids that if they ruin the play of these other kids they will be punished, and then back off. I doubt you will take this advice.[/quote]
