telling a child who hit my kid off?

[miffybunny0]

I have a kid round who plays with mine, however they got into a disagreement and I came in to see that said kid throwing pieces of train tracks at my kids because of game rules or whatever. They are 8 and 9. I told him off but the mother said I was wrong to?

Suggest you get a little harsh w the mother too. Tell her that her kid can toe the line or go play somewhere else.

In all seriousness, just avoid them both. Children with parents like this just get worse.

YANBU 😳 I wouldn't invite them round again!

I would have told them off.

What you’ve said was fine!!!

Yanbu, I would tell the child off too. Completely normal in my house and the parents don't mind(not that I go running telling them things). I would also have no problem with them giving out to my kids.
The child's mother will have a problem on her hands if she continues on with that attitude.

Personally I would thank you for reinforcing these things to my child in my absence

Sorry I missed It was in your house!! YADNBU

Don’t tell me the mother doesn’t believe in discipline. 🙄

One less child to invite for play dates I think. And I wouldn’t be letting my child go to their house with the mother’s attitude. I don’t envy his teachers.

Hello @SinkGirl I haven't seen your comments on threads for ages!

So many sensible PPs and sinkgirl is usually one of them 😁

Hope you have had enough support from PPs OP @miffybunny0
Ywnbu and all of us support you. XXX 🤩

Hello Loki! It’s been a rough couple of months but I’m still here (just about!) :D

I wouldn’t make sweeping statements about what someone else’s child can or can’t do in life. If he wants to throw toys when angry that’s his mother’s job to sort.

Of course she can, especially when it’s her child that’s at risk of being hurt! She’s not trying to live his life for him, she’s telling him to behave better as he was being a pain. I’d tell off any child I saw behaving in that way, in fact I do, all bloody day, as a teacher. Should I not tell Joe to stop pushing Finley onto the floor or should I ignore Jack trying quite hard to hit Andrew with his full water bottle? Boys love to play rough, of course I’m going to make them stop.

Errrr @crispysausagerolls
In no part of society is it acceptable to throw things when angry. So therefore it is completely acceptable for anyone to tell another human that this behaviour isn't ok.
