I am so sad that there are mothers who are fragile enough that they need to react like this and teach their children that it is okay to distance and blame instead of trying to understand. Whether or not she ever 'gets it,' I admire your willingness to meet her face-to-face and stand up for your child. kariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150537989886423212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4077075126044741218.post-60245295607236716502012-09-21T02:56:40.975-04:002012-09-21T02:56:40.975-04:00I felt myself growing enraged as I read your story...I felt myself growing enraged as I read your story -- I'm not sure why there are days when these people become the proverbial straws that break the camel's back. I can't figure out myself why I'm patient to a point and then nearly homicidal -- even toward a small child who stares openly at Sophie while her mother looks on.<br /><br />And why is it that these things happen when we have no one with us? Like I SO WOULD HAVE LOVED TELLING THAT WOMAN OFF FOR YOU, for a change. I really would have. It might have even brought me pleasure!<br /><br />You're the best.

My son is in preschool and the other boys in his class have been noticing and saying things lately: "Why doesn't Jack ever get in trouble?" "Jackson screamed again today." Or the mom who's kid cried the first week and her response was to point to my son and say "stop crying, you don't want to be carried off by the teacher like that kid, do you?"<br /><br />I am so new at this. My son is only 3. And your words remind me that I'm not alone. I admire your calm and strength in a tough situation. I hope I can find the voice my son will need. I am still working on it.Sarah Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14611464324833695758noreply@blogger.com
