[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s why teacher’s have favorite kids in their classes. Some kids are nicer to be around than others [/quote]

Eh, that's a different thing. It's normal for a teacher to have kids they just like more. It might differ by teacher too, because different teachers will like different qualities (the qualities they actively don't like will be the same, but some teachers like more outgoing kids, some like the quiet ones, etc). But that's personality and not about holding a grudge.

Meanwhile there's a kid who is by all accounts a generally nice kid who once did something really, really obnoxious to my kid. I tell myself it was an aberration and they never did it again and probably matured and learned from it. But some part of me will never forget it because it was so tough on my kid. Especially because this was a generally well liked kid, which made it hurt more.

I think it can be harder for the parent to move on because you're the one who listens at home when your kid really pours their heart out about it. I suspect it will be similar in the future when it's about heartbreak instead of of little peer conflicts. Will you ever *really* forgive someone who breaks your kid's heart? Probably not and that's okay.[/quote]
