To be annoyed at this mum??????

On Sunday me and DS went to Sunday school, as it was snowing we decided it would be fun to play in the snow, so we decided to take the DC to the park next to the church and make Adam and Eve snowmen/women, on the way to the park one of the other children threw a snowball and although it wasn't a really hard snowball, it hit my son in the eye (which was inflamed and sore due to possible allergy) and went down his coat. I turned to the boy that threw the snowball and said "that wasn't very nice", that is all I said to him and knelt down to sort my son out.

The other mum comes out and we talk about going to the park, about a minute after she comes out her DS starts crying very loudly from behind some gravestones and when asked why he is crying he said "fullyimmersed told me off" and carries on wailing, the mum said to me "why did you tell him off" in quite a confronting way, so I told her what I had said and what he had done, she told her DC that I was sorry and that it was ok etc.. I feel quite annoyed, this woman used to be quite a good friend of mine and is my sons Godmother, she didn't care what he had done and didn't make him apologise (I would have if it was my DS throwing the snowballs)

Have been sitting on this since Sunday so I just wanted to vent on here.

I believe SS are still investigating their family but can't be 100%, and yeah, this probably doesn't have anything to do with the snowball, but I didn't realise that before I posted.

I don't snow what's going on

Forrestgump · 09/02/2012 07:38

So, you have fallen out; I gathered when i read your post last night, this was about something in the past rather than a snowball.

I would let the snow ball incident be.

W0rmy · 09/02/2012 07:45

There's snow business like snow business.

Meh

ifeelloved · 09/02/2012 07:45

For what it's worth I don't thin Li were wrong in what you says to the other boy. I also don't think it was wrong for the mother to ask you what had happened, and I would also be annoyed that she did t ask her son to apologise, however I do think you should let it go now and just keep away from the family in general.

Mrsgradgrind · 09/02/2012 07:51

So on the one day of the year we get proper snow a child throws a snowball - outrageous!
I think both you and other mum are BU.

hocuspontas · 09/02/2012 08:11

I'm still intrigued by Adam and Eve snowmen. Is this a church thing?

AgentProvocateur · 09/02/2012 08:19

I can't believe you're getting so worked up about a snowball! I could see your point if the other child had thrown a brick, but a snowball...

Parents seem much more precious now than they were 13 or 14 years ago when mine were toddlers.

This has to be one of the most spectacular drip feeds ever!

From snowball to social services!

Leaving aside the latter, YABU about the former. Painful though it might have been for your son (why did you take him out into it,btw,with him having a swollen red eye and all?) a "be careful not to throw snowballs into faces" would probably have sufficed.

LineRunner · 09/02/2012 09:10

Are Adam and Eve snowmen naked? Do they get figs leaves?

loopylou6 · 09/02/2012 09:26

Now I need to know what this family did for you to call police/ss

Hullygully · 09/02/2012 09:29

I have a large cappuccino and an hour.

scurryfunge · 09/02/2012 09:35

Where did the other lady park before all this happened?

Pagwaatch · 09/02/2012 09:35

Btw I love whatmeworrys snowballing post.

TuftyFinch · 09/02/2012 09:38

I've got to go to the bank.
Do Adam and Eve snowmen have fig leaves?

Pagwaatch · 09/02/2012 09:41

An Adam snowman would, rather worryingly, explain why dd asked for two pieces of coal, a carrot and a sweet potato

ShirleyO · 09/02/2012 09:42

Right - c'mon.

Entertain me.

Pagwaatch · 09/02/2012 09:43

Actually poor dds snowman was a sad affair. She made it when we got home in near darkness and was quite dejected after inspecting it the next morning.
It is a good size and looks great but is dappled with several frozen dog turds

TuftyFinch · 09/02/2012 09:45

oooh Pag. Did you get the snow from the sledging hill with the unruly dogs running about and shitting everywhere..

Hullygully · 09/02/2012 09:46

Where's the op?

Doesn't she realise we all need her?
