I do wish that everyone was more polite, but we really only have control over what we do, and what we teach our children. And your son seems like a sweetheart, hopefully experiences like this don't change that too much.Pudgy Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00799012497282470693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19178340.post-59811354997885133442008-04-11T13:33:00.000-06:002008-04-11T13:33:00.000-06:00He has such a healthy attitude.

I was the outcast in my "Christian" school and how I wished my parents had taught me not to take to heart all the cruelness of the other kids. He sounds like a great boy.

I do believe that has been the hardest part of child raising. Even beating out potty training. <BR/><BR/>When my almost high school freshman was in 4th grade, she had a girl in her class give her the devil ten ways from Sunday. I finally had enough and went to the principal. I was evil. I told her that if she didn't stop this kid from harrassing mine? I would find the mother and end up in jail. Also? My kid's test scores helped the school get special funding and with testing coming up, my child's peace of mind could mean big bucks. From that day forward, she never had another problem with that nasty kid. (And she never even knew i went to talk to the principal).<BR/><BR/>When you hurt my kids? The gloves come off and I'm coming after the nasty butt parents that are raising them.Miss Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07570326989323177520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19178340.post-41304597549760129902008-04-09T14:48:00.000-06:002008-04-09T14:48:00.000-06:00I think Jacob has got it exactly right.

And if they don't, you just keep on going being nice.<BR/><BR/>Mind you, I have one of those kids that won't talk to anybody until she know them well. Once she does, though, she will move mountains to keep them happy. I guess she's a bit more leery.Burgh Babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09123901504643963583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19178340.post-48712009739164191882008-04-09T14:11:00.000-06:002008-04-09T14:11:00.000-06:00You're really gonna make me cry all over the damn ...You're really gonna make me cry all over the damn keyboard today?

I, on the other hand, are more like you in that regard. But I can be confrontational about it without being productive. I get this "Well, F_ _ K You" attitude and I know it only makes things worse. My son is like your son. He is now "best friends" with the boy that put the rope around his neck at the beginning of the school year. And the boy still doesn't treat him that well. The hard ugly truth will become clear to them soon enough. For now their innocense protects them.ChupieandJ'smama (Janeen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12367131116081742274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19178340.post-71679076418739460842008-04-09T11:49:00.000-06:002008-04-09T11:49:00.000-06:00I know how you feel.

It KILLS me inside to see other kids taking advantage of that. He came home last week and said someone hated him, and called him a butthead. Ugh. I wanted to march up there and give that kid a piece of my mind. I cannot believe that Mom actually condoned that behaviour. Un-freakin-real.

He seems like such a sweet kid. I know how you feel, though. My closest friend has two little girls and sometimes when I take Owen over there it looks to me like the older one deliberately excludes him. I don't know if she really is doing it on purpose, though, or if it is just my past as an outcast that's coloring my view. Your instincts are probably right, though, given your experience with little kids, and that makes me sad for his sake.kelly jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814337114286065143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19178340.post-21451156623876910872008-04-09T11:01:00.000-06:002008-04-09T11:01:00.000-06:00You're a mom...you'll never get comfortable with h...You're a mom...you'll never get comfortable with his life.<BR/><BR/>OneHung doesn't think Jacob is smarter than you (OHM doesn't believe many people to be smarter than you), but Jacob is probably a different kind of smart.<BR/><BR/>Children look at thinks differently than adults.
