Hi
I suppose i just want someone to make me feel a bit better than the absolute s**t of a parent i feel right now.
We have just found a neighbour (known grump ! )walking a boy (13/14 ) home rather briskly.He had my 2 dds (9 and 12 ) in tow, and the lad was sobbing.Apparrently my dd
s had used (HIS ) stones to throw at the older boy and made him cry by not allowing him past to go home.The poor lad was really upset.
We have marched our dds next door, having literally dragged my eldest to the front door, and made them apologise to the boy and his parents.Apparently its not the first time.We have gone totally beserk and grounded them and yelled like we have never done befor.I told them how devastated we are and the elder one seems more concerned with lying herself out of the situation.Dd 1 is i
m pleased to say as upset as us and very remorseful.I am so upset to think that my children could upset another child so much.I am embarressed also.My eldest dd was bullied big time at primary-is she turning into a bully? Can anyone please say anything positive to make me feel like i can learn from this. how should we have reacted, and how should we handle it in the cold light of day tomorrow ?
Sorry its so long.
