I’m not a violent person. But…

I’ve got to tell you all that I’m getting pretty fed up with my neighbor! This was what happened over the weekend and I honestly think that it was totally unacceptable. Please let me know what you all think.
On Friday night my two young kids (ages 7 and 9) were outside playing with the neighbor’s boy (he’s 8). Now I know kids will be kids and they can sometimes play quite rough. Well this kid actually banged my two kids heads together. My daughter (the 9 year old) started crying and my son (the 7 year old) grabbed this kid and pushed him. I didn’t say anything to Daniel for pushing him as this kid banged their heads together.
Now this is where this gets interesting. After Daniel pushed him this kid ran over to his mother to “complain” that Daniel pushed him. This was what his mother said. Number 1: Kara needs to grow up (she’s nine for god’s sake and was hurt) and for him to beat up Daniel. Yes, she was telling an 8 year old boy to beat up a 7 year old.
When I confronted her about what she said, deny, deny, deny. I heard her and so did another neighbor. So I know she told her kid to beat up my kid. I’ve had it!! The next time she offers this sound advice to her son I honestly think I might go bang her head against some one’s and see just how much she likes it. I’m not putting up with this this summer and I can honestly see me telling her royally off by summer’s end.

If anything like that happened again, I think I would ask my kids how much they enjoy playing with the neighbor child and if it is not going to bother them I wouldn’t let them play together anymore.
Again, not being in the same situation I can’t be totally sure what I would do.
Unfortunately, this is how some people just have to act. I agree that the kids should not play together anymore. It’s one thing for the kid to be that violent but to have the mother encourage that is really bad news. But now you know where the kid gets it, that’s for sure.
It’s difficult not to give back in kind but I wouldn’t do that. She would be one of those “sue you, sue you” people that sue over any tiny little thing. She certainly is a prize for motherhood, that’s for sure. The best thing is to stay away. Too bad for the kids. This could have been a good lesson in what not to do for the kid who banged the heads together.
My parents have a window peeker next to them. Wanna know how we know that? We caught him looking in our windows!!!!
I wouldn’t let the kids play together anymore either.
I’m not a parent, but I can honestly say that with a parent like that, I wouldn’t be allowing my kids to play with that child anymore. There are times that a child has to learn to stick up for themselves and their loved ones, like your son did, but there are times when it really just crosses the line. If she’s not going to put her foot down on that sort of behavior and only encourage, then your kids might be better off finding a new playmate.
Well, you were not wrong.
But I think a book of child psychology and development can help u a lot !
