Now we have a group of entitled kids that think that they are above every one and shockingly complain to their mothers that nobody wants to play with them, but the other kids just don’t want to be around them! So, the lawnmower parents grow even more sensitive. These parents have screamed at my kid when she doesn’t want to share or play with them (my daughter is not an angel but these kids are weird too, since they demand things and have that rotten attitude “I’m going to tell my mom if you say no! Kind of thing , so sometimes she doesn’t want to play with them, specially knowing the mothers active involvement) so I had to get involved and tell the parents do not yell at my kid. Unless someone is on fire, or bleeding, or in immediate danger, do not get involved. If You have a problem, talk to me, adult to adult, not her, specially if it’s about a kid problem or whatever it is. They don’t get it. They took offense to what I said! I absolutely hate them. Bottom line, guide your kids, listen to them and help them with their kid problem by helping them find their own voice and if you need to get involved and address something, do it with the parent, not with the kid!

When my nephew was 5, we were at a picnic. He came running up to me and rammed me, right in the ‘nads. I yelled at him for hurting me. I didn’t say more than that, but he ran away crying.

My sister-in-law witnessed it. I said I didn’t like doing that but it hurt and I needed his attention. She agreed I did nothing wrong for not allowing myself to be hurt. We waited a few minutes, I talked to my nephew quietly and gently and all was good after that.
