I took my children to chessington. and was in que for the ride. my 3 year old daughter had been kicking the man in front of us. ( i had not seen) He turned and shouted at her 'stop kicking me,don't you dare kick me' his tone and voulume of voice was a bit over the top. I told my daughter you don't kick its naughty. Then i told him she is 3 years old if there is a problem you talk to me not her. The woman who was with him said they have to be firm with their child because of some special needs he has and i said that may be your situation and you may need to talk to your son that way, But that does not mean its ok to talk to my child that way.

I'm looking forward to the nursery threads "my DD got punched by a child at nursery, all she did was kick another child"

Thank fuck we are on the last page. I'm just astounded that as a lone parent of 4 children you have so much time to devote to defending your completely pointess thread!

timidviper · 09/09/2013 19:16

Haha Bear Good point.

We are back to a point made numerous times. You are just embarrassed that you were shown up publicly and need to get over it.

Crocodilehunter · 09/09/2013 19:18

Tbh if I was him I would have prob had a go at you, not your child! He was well within his rights to be pissed off though!

prissyenglisharriviste · 09/09/2013 19:18

Nice try to get out of it. I didn't mention teachers. I just pointed out you were called out in a far more humiliating way in public, with onlookers who knew you were the child's parent. And that you were mortified and should just fess up that you reacted badly.

But hey, you want to go off down the teacher rabbit hole and ignore the ACTUAL topic you started, be my guest.

But you know you were just called out in public and were mortified. It's okay. It's a fairly normal part of parenting. Just be grateful that you haven't been publicly embarrassed by the behavior of any of your other children previously.

Your only miscalculation was to start an Aibu expecting folk to agree with you.

But if you are still insisting that you didn't react inappropriately out of embarrassment, and the dude was really wrong to tell dd off, then crack on and enjoy the bunfight.

Just don't try to weasel out of it by chasing off after teachers. You started the thread - you know you really want to talk about that incident at Chessington... Don't derail it yourself out of some realisation that you were actually wrong, and deflect it with claiming you we're right because of your other kids and schools... That way lies madness and another 40 pages of nonsense.

This reminds me of the thread about the woman who nicked a third of a glass of milk in a café and couldn't see that she was wrong. That went to 1000 posts too.

hotncold · 09/09/2013 19:25

Haven't read the whole thread but has anybody suggested that your DD was in the wrong for kicking the man in the first place?

the teacher thing i was responding to the dont change your name. i cant wait to the threads about a teacher told my child off. so now because i respond to that. it becomes im trying to get out of it.

im not going to say it anymore i said sorry to the man. i told my daughter of... what do you all want her/my blood.

if a grown mad feels the need to shout at a 3 year old. then i dread to think what he is like in everyday life. must go round shouting at lots of chidren.

i really dont care what any of you think of my child. im just glad that i dont feel the need to shout at a small child. even if they did kick me. its very sad that a grown man could not have thought of a better way to manage it rather than shout.

Why post on AIBU topic OP if you are convinced that this man was BU?

Wine and?

Thepowerof3 · 09/09/2013 19:37

It's a cheek to comment on OP posting on her own thread, shouldn't we all be doing something else! Not everyone in Britain stares like a teddy bear when angered, some shout like this man did

OneStepCloser · 09/09/2013 19:37

Cheese! Wine and Cheese, doh.

OneStepCloser · 09/09/2013 19:38

Of course, why thank you usual.

Ghost, I admire your resilliance.

Thepowerof3 · 09/09/2013 19:38

Don't give it a second thought OP, some people need to get a sense of perspective and reality

Thepowerof3 · 09/09/2013 19:39

Angry face

Thepowerof3 · 09/09/2013 19:39
