It Bears Repeating

I know I have blogged about this before.  I looked...and looked.  But I simply could not find it.  But it's bullying.  When I blogged about it before it was Kristin.  What made it so horrible for her, was it was her so called friends.  Thankfully she no longer associates with them.  And lo' and behold she is much better for it.  It was a horrible time. 

Now we are dealing with a bully issue with Ryan.  He is getting bullied.  It's just not right.  I get angry.  I want to meet this child's parent's and ask them just what in the world are they teaching that child.  Case and point:  just last week this child put hot sauce on Ryan's sandwich.  If you are wondering wondering where a kid would get hot sauce, it was taco day.  Still, why give them hot sauce?  That just burned my butt!  My dark side was right at the surface.  What is a mom to do?  Where does this come from?  How do you arm your children?

Ooooh...yeah, when that happens I have a good plan: Go kick the little sh*t in the ass. What. That is illegal?

The best advice I've heard is to train your child to be bold: he must get right into the bully's face and almost shout, "Don't do that ANYMORE" or "Don't touch me". If he makes eye contact and uses a firm loud voice, the bully will usually leave him alone!

Good luck! Ethan had troubles like this last year in preschool! Sad it starts so young!

That is such a hard one- hard to know what to do. Makes me mad though that is for sure. But def worth contacting the teacher.

Unfortunately the schools have taken away the most effective tool against bullies - a good pop in the nose. If a kid defends himself, then he gets in trouble for fighting and the other kid gets a slap on the wrist for bullying. Just wrong.

Is there any reason you can't talk to that child's parents? What about the school? Are they aware/doing anything?

Bullying is such a major issue these days, I would think the school would be anxious to nip it in the bud.

As for where it comes from, I think it's the old stand-bys: insecurity and jealousy.

I'm sorry you and Ryan are going through this. Hugs and wishes for a swift resolution.

it is so hard I check daily on my son because everyday it's something new last year he even got a broken finger due to bullying. I just make sure i teachers and i hve open communication and that the school understands I will not take my chld being hurt under their care lightly. but it is so hard because no parent wants to admit their child is a bully

It's not right, and I've found that schools are of very little help in these kinds of things. I hope they grow out of it soon and leave your sweet son alone!

I'm sorry you are having to deal with this. I am fortunate enough to have my children in a small school where bullying is NOT tolerated, and it isn't something we've had to deal with.

Good luck getting it taken care of! I would definitely go to the teacher and the principal.

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters. Why do they give such ch
