I am so mad I am actually shaking.
EB was out playing with those same kids from yesterday, the constantly knocking at the door ones. I'm not sure what happened but a fight got started and EB and Dot were kicked out of the game and came home all pissed off.
I told them to just stay away from the kids if they can't get along, and to definately stay away for the rest of today. I wanted tempers to cool.
But I was distracted with LB and some stretching and giving him some lunch and stuff and EB managed to go out and back to the yard, looking for some drama.
Next thing I know those kids are at my back door telling me that my 11 year old son kicked a 5 year old in the chest.
I freaked. I told the kids at the door that maybe they shouldn't play with my kids anymore, since they never seem to get along.
They left screaming at me that they didn't want to play with my kids anymore anyway. Ok, typical kid response.
I then turned to EB and read him the riot act. He's still waiting for the final part of his punishment to be handed down, since I want to discuss this with his father.
But, the first thing he had to do was to go over and apologize to the kid that he kicked. I don't care what happened that led to it, he had no right what so ever to kick anybody, let alone someone half his size that has not even a quarter his strenght. That shit's not right, and he's going to pay, oh yes he is going to pay.
But that's not why I'm shaking with rage. And yes, it is rage.
Because when we went over to this little boys house to make EB apologize the Mom started yelling at me that my kid is a bully and that I need to open my eyes because this can't be the first time he's done stuff like this.
Well actually yes, it is the first time he's ever done something like that.
But this other Mom actually threatened to hit my son. She said the only way to teach him not to be a bully is to bully him.
No, actually if you make a child feel defenseless and powerless most times they will turn that around and do the exact same thing to someone else.
It's a terrible cycle.
She also told me that I need to beat my son more. Ok, whatever.
She told me that if I "beat the shit" out of my son he'd be better behaved.
Speaking as one that had the "shit beat" out of me on a regular basis I happen to know that's not true.
And what makes me super mad is that this woman doesn't know me, doesn't know anything about me and she's screaming at me and threatening my kids.
So now my kids are banned from going over to the yard, because I don't trust that woman.
I don't really understand what her point was. I mean I get why she is so mad, if some older kid was picking on my kids I'd be flipping as well. But if their Mom came over and was pissed at their kid and made them apologize and let me know that they weren't going to allow this then I wouldn't start screaming at them.
She even screamed at me for EB having stuff going on that wasn't any of her business and she didn't even know anything about.
The one thing I am proud of is that I didn't react like I normally would. If some person gets in my face like that normally I go on the attack mode. But this time I just smiled told her to have a nice day and walked away while she screamed profanity and threats at me from across the yard.
I handled it well. And of that I'm proud.
