By 4th grade, me and my sister were "those kids" with the mom who flew off the handle so teachers avoided saying anything to us except what was absolutely necessary. It's was embarrassing. I like you idea of sending notes, much more diplomatic. They'll probably get tired of replying and keep there opinions of Deaglan's snacks and toys to themselves.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08700057904506855793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287005166012220959.post-84680266897358104682011-10-08T22:26:11.535-04:002011-10-08T22:26:11.535-04:00Oh my - my heart goes out to you as we are having ...Oh my - my heart goes out to you as we are having the same less-than-wonderful experience with big school this year.

I commend you for your way of handling his "hurt heart", which is the most precious thing EVER by the way!! I turn into this crazy momma lion/bear when it comes to Noah. The rage is a bit overwhelming... I think I am better now because Noah has made it very clear that I embarrass him when there is a peer issue. However, when it comes to an adult, he actually would love me to knock them out! Verbally that is. ;) Peace and Fun-Parenting my friend!!Gerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355005063119095095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287005166012220959.post-5661128340864389582011-10-06T20:24:50.520-04:002011-10-06T20:24:50.520-04:00Each assault on Amy's feelings was, and still ...Each assault on Amy's feelings was, and still is like a combination of a knife in my heart and a sledgehammer blow to my head. It hurts-big time! Hugs my dear. The main thing is that your kids know you have their back-that you don't agree with what others say necessarily. There will, unfortunately, be silly adults all along the path to growing up.

I didn't have a great experience in a daycare nursery last week with Donut and I was so upset about it. I did talk to the director and they were more on top of things. I just can't keep my mouth shut when it comes to my kid.

Not cool to call kids names and not cool to criticize the parents' food choices. (at E's school, one of the parents mentioned we were supposed to include a milk, a veggie, a fruit, a protein, etc. and I told her I would send whatever I wanted in my daughter's lunch thankyouverymuch, & if the school has an issue with it, they should come over & pack her lunch for me! Otherwise, butt out.) I hope things get better soon!
