Its a quick one but the rage I’m feeling…. Calm me down mumsneters or share my rage.

8 year old daughter, in year 3, a group of 10, they move around activities in their group competing against each other, little score keeping, no record of winning. Mixed ages.

In a game I couldn’t quite fathom, 1 on 1, throw some balls at a cone then run to touch the cone first - now my daughter got there first so it isn’t a case of ‘my child should have won god dammit’.

But she was playing a year 6 boy, he was a foot and more taller and stocky. Ran and slide tackled her, his feet straight into her ankles. HIS MUM CHEERED?!?

He could have broken her leg. I truely believe that this woman is a large part of what is wrong with our society. She’s so proud of her darling boy for taking out a little girl? What sort of man will he grow up to be?

WTF, did the teachers stop it? That's awful and I would complain. No contact sports allowed at that age. Were you filming it?
