Three weeks ago, I had a 'surprise' visit from the most annoying woman in the world (for those who remember the thread - My stalker - the one with the hubby with the dodgy PhD) anyway, I have long suspect that her daughter is a bully and have had comments from other mums who have seen the girl (and even witnessed her mother) bullying other kids). Yet, as we were all in the house, I made the mistake of allowing her and GS to play in the other room. Within 5 mins, I could hear strange noises, so went to investigate. GS was blue and couldn't breath. Managed to get him to calm down and get his breathing under control. He said that the girl had jumped on him. I asked her what had happened and she sneered "I wanted to sit next to him and he wouldn't sit still, so I stood on the footstool and jumped on his chest to stop him moving - that'll make him do what I say".
GS went to the hospital and it turns oout that she had bruised his ribs, but luckily not broken them. They explained how painful this was (apparently not much difference between bruising and breaking in terms of pain).
I told the girls mother and she made two snappy comments "Oh I've had that he'll be okay in a week" followed a day later by "I've told her (daughter) that she can't do that to GS again and to not jump so hard on children who are a bit smaller than her".
A week ago, GS said that the mother had told him that he could go to their house for tea next saturday. I didnt take much notice until she rang yesterday and said to DH that her daughter was looking forward to GS going to their house and she was planning what they were going to do. TO which my DH replied (remarkably tactful considering how angry we both are) that he wasnt happy about GS going to their house considering what had happened. He explained that it wasn't so much that GS had got hurt, it was more to do with the fact that her daughter admitted to doing it deliberatly and very calculated and that the mother not only thought that it didnt even warrant an apology, but that she had virtually given her daughter licence to do the same thing to other children. But that if GS still wanted to see her daughter, he was quite happy to let her come to play here as long as they were supervised.
She started texting me, asking if I was going to let my DH tell me what to do. To which I explained that I fully agree with what he had said to her and that I also thought it was irresponsible to make arrangements with a four year old and not with his parents/carers anyway.
She's still bloody texting me, apparently she's been to the house today, whilst I was out and accused DS of lying when he told her I was out.
Is it just us that feels this way or are we over-reacting to what she claims was just kids playing?
