  Thats awful!! You sound like a great mom, you just keep teaching your kids right. It could of been that the mother didn't hear what her kids said, but if she did she should of said something.

  I would never let my son say something mean to another child if I was there to hear it.

  I went to a park down the road from my apartment(its kind of snobby) and all these pollo wearing brats were telling my son "dont follow us","go away". My son is only 2 so he wasn't even aware he was following them he just saw kids. Thankfully he just smiled caused he didn't understand yet.

  Mothers just want to protect our babies, even their feelings.

  I think it's sad how people can be so mean but what you have to understand is the mother didn't say anything because she's the same way kids pick up what that see and hear to the mom it was no no big deal how ever give it a few years they will turn and do the same to her or show their rude social skills to someone she values what they think of her and her kids I can't tell you how many people I have met like that but you just have to just be honest with your little one and tell her some kids can be mean and your a beautiful person but everyone will not always thinks so but just because they say it isn't so does not mean its true sorry on behelf of this rude mother all of are not the same thank god.

  If you don't want your kids surrounded by negative attitude, you should seriously consider homeschooling. My kids are bright and happy and well adjusted. I've seen too many five year olds marched off to kindergarten only to come back a different person. And the change was not positive.

  Some parents are to embrassed to say anything if there kids make a bad social error. They fell if they ignore it "it will go away" or "I will pretend I did not see my kid do that". The Sad truth is parents these days are to ashamed or scared to stand up and admit a mistake or take responsibility for their children. My son came home the other day and said that his best friend pushed him down. I asked him what did he do and he said he punched him in the arm for pushing him. I walked my son over to the little boys house and I made him apologise. The other kid did not even say anything. When I noticed his mother was not going to make him say anything. I had to remind the little boy and his mother that it takes two to fight and than she made him apologize. It is just sad that I had to be the one to remind them.

  I am a mother of 3, soon to be 4. I also work at a k-8 school, so I know that there are some children who can be very mean and worse parents who have the same attitude. But parents like that, usually dont see anything wrong with how they or their children behave and that it sad. My youngest nephew also has ezcema so i know how u feel. I believe strongly in karma. so continue being the good example that you are to your children, and let karma handle the negitive parents and their children. p/s your daughter is beautiful.

  anytime somebody does that to your kids, pretend you've not seen or heard it. continue to teach them the difference between right and wrong and encourage them to do the right thing. let them know how much you love and appreciate them. remember, your kids know and understand your voice better than any other persons voice.,continue to build their confidence. you are a great mum
