I have two dc both with additional needs and both in primary. This is mainly about my youngest who is nearly 6.
Despite having additional needs, she loves school, very popular and enjoys it. But she is speech delayed and has a mild physical disability so she often cannot keep up with her friends but she tries. Her speech is often unclear and young compared to her peers but making huge progress.
Anyway, she’s having trouble with one particular boy. A couple times she’s come home and said he has kicked her and said things to do her. Teacher was told and Dd hasn’t mentioned him in a while so thought things were okay.
So today... obviously not in school. But we were out on a walk and we seen said boy out playing with another child.
Dd likes to speak to everyone she knows - even the not so nice ones. She said hello to him and he replied ‘Hello dumb girl’ and laughed or something along those lines. It was definitely ‘hello dumb’ but he was running by and it was muffled but the words ‘hello dumb’ and a laugh come out of his mouth.
I know kids will be kids and they say things but saying something like this is wrong. Aibu?! I know they are young but I would be mortified if one of mine said that to someone. His mother wasn’t around to hear what he said.
Even if she was around I doubt she will care. Don’t really know her but they live nearby and it seems the child can’t do anything wrong and she doesn’t see it.
The mother has also give us glances before on other occasions. One time DS was having a moment - he’s autistic. She looked at us with disgust at the time tbh. I didn’t say anything to her was was focusing on getting my son calm. Her attitude has probably rubbed off on her son. She seems awful.
Aibu to be really peed off about what the kid said? Dd didn’t acknowledge it but if he’s saying it at school she’s probably used to it...
Calling each other names is one thing but things like dumb etc?
Wwyd? Not really the type to go speak to the parent or March into the school about it!
