[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the mother of a somewhat challenging child, it makes me sad to hear that people are going to shun me and my son because of it.[/quote]
But as the mother of a somewhat challenging child, do you intervene, redirect, discipline, or do [i]something[/i] to try to curb your son's behavior if he is rude or mean to another kid? Are you actively trying to help him get a handle on his behaviors?

If so then your friends are likely to see that and respect that, and still keep getting together with you.

If not, then honestly you are showing a lack of respect to your friends and their children by subjecting them to your child's challenging behaviors without comment or correction and I would not be surprised if the stopped spending time with you due to that.[/quote]

If I see acknowledgement and effort on the part of the parent with the challenging child, I will not shun you. OP described a clueless parent, and those folks drive me crazy! :evil: [/quote]

NP here.  You know WHY they drive other parents crazy?  Since you act like you are supposedly "shocked"?  Because we see you as lazy, and/or your child is an awful influence on other children.

No other parent wants to be subjected to it, over and over again.  You label other parents "helicopter" (or whatever), but in reality, you just don't want to parent.  Period.  You keep coming up with excuses, and we are tired of it.  Yo are doing NOTHING to help your child get through life, as long as you do not redirect, correct, discipline or something (!!!!) or do what is APPROPRIATE for the situation - i.e.: parent.

Imagine that, actually parenting will allow you to keep friends, if that is something that interests you.
