Yes, the title sums it up. Ashley is undoubtedly sick of hearing about this, and I thought I was over it, but something just rehashed the feelings...

Ashley invited me to this playgroup on base a few weeks ago. We've now gone 3 times and I really like the group. Until yesterday. I'm going to tell this from my point of view because I thats how I think of it.

So I'm sitting there...lil M is off playing and Ryker is doing his thing. All the sudden this woman is in lil M's face yelling at him. I'm like...woah...what's going on and suddenly realize she'd IN HIS FACE!! Adrenaline kicks in and I'm grabbing him away while telling her to stop yelling at my kid!! I've never had adrenaline kick in like this before, and it was literally 24 hours before I felt right again. Anyway, she starts telling me that he knocked over her daughter 3 times and blah blah blah. Me, being the trusting person that I am, didn't even question this "fact" and just explained to her that she can not yell at MY child and if she has a problem she needs to tell ME. To which she tells me to be a parent. Had lil M not been in my lap crying and freaking out, lord only knows what I would have said to this bitch. She also questioned his age stating that this certain playgroup was for kids 3 and under. Yes, lil M is quite big for his age. But even if he were 4 or 5, that does not give anyone the right to yell at him. She was literally in his face, bent over and face to face, yelling. A helpless little 3 year old child playing and having fun. :no: I know 100% that if he did indeed knock this child over, that it was an accident. Chances are he didn't even know he did it!!

I'm still angry. Really angry. There is a part of me that wants to get her son and get in his face and start screaming at him just so she can understand this emotion. I obviously would NEVER do that but I do seriously wish there was a way that I could make her feel what I am feeling. I also want to kick the shit out of her. :whistle:

Lord help me if she gets within 5 feet of me or my children next week.

Who the fuck yells at someone elses child???? (This is what randomly runs through my head about every 10 minutes)

This lady is also very lucky that big M called and I was on the phone when her 3 year old son walked up to Ryker and stole the toy Ryker was playing with...oh and she did nothing. Ashley to the rescue though, went over and retrieved the toy for Ryker...and then gave the bitch the dirtiest look ever. It was the look of death.

Okay...vent over. I have 5 more days to get past this so I can go to that group next week...:eyeroller:

Oh erin I would have slapped a hoe...:oops:

but seriously... Totally understandable... I cannot believe she was yelling at him!!! or questioning his age and size... I don't know where this woman got off thinking she could bully a child but I'm soooo proud of you for not kicking her ass....;) (only because I know I would have been tempted to and 99% of us would have, but you were smart enough not to!)

That Hulk smash rage feeling is surely a sign your a good mother.... Just learn how to harness it and use it for good. Is there someone that runs the playgroup? Maybe talk to them? Send them an email, tell them about the incident and how inapprop it was ?

Glad you are able to meet Ashley and get out and have playdates though!

*HUGS* try not to let it eat you, this woman is an idiot

Thanks Katie :) Ive had dreams of beating her up, or just punching her once at least. They always end up with me in jail, or a major lawsuit. So then I had dreams of filing charges against her, and that was MUCH more satisfying. Pitiful dreams, eh?

Ashley actually talked to the playgroup coordinator for me and they were going to talk to the lady. I wonder how that went!!

WHOA... I am with Katie... I would have slapped her for getting in my face too!!! Just rude. I am one of those moms that will confront the child, but NOT that way. I would just ask the child to say your sorry for pushing, or knocking the other over. You can tell how a parent reacts to other children is how they respond to their own and it is VERY sad!

I think you did right by confronting her! Just remember that she has issues, I bet she hollers at her kids too! Hugs!

holy crap. that is just awful! i feel the anger! and i agree with you for being upset... oh man. i don't have kids, but i do have a dog. she's a border collie so she has lots of energy and when i was taking a puppy agility class with her last year, there were a few people who would talk sh** about Agape (my dog) while i was right there because they didn't like how "she has so much energy and barks when she's playing" and i almost tackled a woman one day when she gave me a dirty look after i did a perfect run with Agape. she was the smartest dog in the whole class and that woman i wanted to tackled just treated her puppy like crap i felt awful for it. ugh, i feel your frustration.
