| bullying kids and their parents |
| I've been having difficulty trying stick up for my child when she appears to be being bullied, especially in our neighborhood. I'm one of very few single working moms that I'm aware of in my town, and I've been bullied by other children's fathers when I've tried to intervene on behalf of my child. Being single, I feel alone and like I have no back up. Can any moms in a similar situation commiserate or offer any advice? |

| YOUR DAUGHTER NEEDS YOU AND IF YOU DONT DEFEND HER WHO WILL? SINGLE MOMS NEED TO BE A LITTLE STRONGER FOR THERE CHILD YOU DONT WANT HER GROWING UP AS A PASSIVE PERSON DO YOU? WHEN YOU SEE SOMEONE BULLYING YOUR CHILD GET HER AND TELL THE OTHER KID TO NOT DO THAT AND THAT YOU WILL BE TELLING HIS/HER PARENT/S AND IF THE PARENTS ARE ONE OF THOSE THAT DONT CARE AND SAY "KIDS WILL BE KIDS" OR "THEY ARE JUST PLAYING" OR "YOUR DAUGHTER LIKES IT SHE KEEPS COMING BACK" THEN TELL THEM THAT NO! YOU DONT WANT YOUR DAUGHTER BEING TREATED LIKE THAT AND THAT IF THERE KID DOESNT STOP YOU DONT WANT HIM/HER NEAR YOUR CHILD. I'VE BEEN AROUND THOSE PARENTS AND WITH OR WITHOUT MY FIENCE I HAVE STOPPED KIDS AND PARENTS FROM YELLING OR HURTING HER SHE IS MY KID AND I WANT HER TO BE TREATED WITH RESPECT JUST LIKE ALL THE PARENTS WANT THERE CHILD TO BE RESPECTED, (DONT TRY THIS AT HOME) MY MOM FOR 2 YEARS WAS ALWAYS DEFENDING MY BROTHER AND SISTER UNTIL THE NEIGHBOR (LADY) TRIED TO HIT MY BROTHER MY MOM GOT OUT OF HER APARTMENT AND CONFRONTED THAT LADY AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE LADY TRIED TO HIT MY MOM TOO THINKING SHE WONT DEFENED HER SELF AND MY MOM WELL THEY GOT INTO A FIST FIGHT BUT YOU DONT WANT IT TO GET TO THAT POINT WHERE YOUR KID MIGHT GET HIT BY ANOTHER KID OR PARENT JUST BECAUSE THEY FEEL THAT YOU WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT THAT YOU ARE TO SCARED TO CONFRONT THEM AND YOU WILL BE THE ONE THEY PICK ON. PLEASE DONT LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU OR YOUR DAUGHTER. |

| Thank you so much for your feedback. When I wrote that message, I'd just had a verbal argument with a male neighbor about something his daughter had said to mine. He hit me (with words) below the belt, but I kept letting him know I wouldn't put up with my child being treated badly. Your comment helped me know I did the right thing. I would never get physical, though when you're a single woman dealing with a man, you wonder (I wonder) if they're going to get physical. I just have to remember to have my cell phone available to call 911 if necessary. Expect the worst and hope for the best, I guess. Thanks again. |
