Poor Maya and poor, poor little Bobby. Alth...Oh my. Poor Maya and poor, poor little Bobby. Although it sounds as though your kids are pretty good at looking after themselves but I think you did the right thing. Both by intervening when you did and by walking away when you did. And what are this comparatively huge and old kids doing? Picking on little ones like Bobby and Maya? Unbelievable. <br />Like Amelia I am a helicopter parent, I am the one marching around on the upper floors of the soft play area. In fact, I once got told off by one of the grannies for sliding down the tunnel slide with Jessica when I was fairly pregnant with Reuben! <br />I'm often surprised by how grouchy my mama bear is when she gets out. It's horrible to see children bully one another, just awful.Catherine Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01618295389400457254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-40205404192685665282012-07-20T23:54:54.830-04:002012-07-20T23:54:54.830-04:00Holy cow.

So I did, and we both landed detention for a month. When I got home dad told me how proud he was rather than how upset he was. Because no teacher or parent will get to you in time if you were being beatened. Soi agree with you. The world is made up of all sorts of crazy people and crazy children out there and if my kid was being bullied I would tell him to defend himself. Good on you for being there to defend your babies. Sadly you can't always be there when they're at school...Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10878562715014004523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-77701896050484611842012-07-20T20:54:32.755-04:002012-07-20T20:54:32.755-04:00Good for you!!!

What if their kids like in your case your children got hurt, or what if their children got hurt? I watch mine and if I see my kids get out of line I act quickly and if one hurts mine I do the same as you "Get Loud" so it draws attention so that maybe the parent will correct their child and if the parent gets pissy...So do I!<br />You go momma!!!trenniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06208738689962789823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-21161359624766278092012-07-20T17:37:04.452-04:002012-07-20T17:37:04.452-04:00Oh my goodness how awful!

I struggle with the fact that I AM a helicopter mom and keep a very close eye on my G where as other parents are a lot less vigilant. I stress over knowing when to intervene or when to let G try to work things out herself. The choice in this case was obvious, thank goodness you were watching.Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07115154893444857726noreply@blogger.com
