[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe this is something you have to ask about, just go over to the boy/boys and say, “Hey don’t be mean. You’re bigger and you should help little kids. Maybe you could throw the ball with her?” [/quote]

The thread is bananas. She asked a normal question because she and her husband didn’t see eye to eye.  Now she’s a Karen, like she totally would’ve gotten the boy arrested! Of course it’s not a big deal but people flipped out at her, made fun of her, and made it seem unreasonable to even ask. It’s ridiculous. [/quote]

Because she was so dramatic and "disgusted" by honestly what is pretty routine behavior. The boy's behavior was not right, nobody is defending it, but we all know that "kid" is everywhere. He's at the pool, the park, the playground, etc. You can't control for kids like that, you can only control yourself and your own kid so you need to learn to roll with the punches and expect these things will happen and plan accordingly. Either back your kid up or leave toys at home. It's not hard. It's just strange that OP was so flummoxed by it as if she's never left the house before and encountered bad behavior in public places.[/quote]

But it probably isn’t yet routine for her. Plenty of us here have young dcs and less experience, and that should be ok. Isn’t it obvious when an op and her husband gave divergence like this that their q if what to do is genuine, and that their initial reactions might be headier than their reaction to the tenth time this happens? Ease up. You don’t have to grind someone down so eagerly over an honest question, right?[/quote]

Her kid is 6 not 2. If a new parent was doing all this for the first time it would be more understandable.[/quote]
