Why are things always ruined by uncivilsed people?

[PlasterCaster]

My DH has two weeks off work so started taking DS to a pre-school group last week. He started on the monday and DH said a couple of kids were mean to him, pushing him away from toys and ganging up on him.

On wednesday on the way there two boys ran up behind DS and started saying "woooo!" and putting their hands up like ghosts. DS got all upset and hid behind DH and apparantly DH and the kids mothers just laughed it off although DH was secretely annoyed that they didn't tell their kids off.
Thursday it happened again and DS went into the group crying his eyes out because of the ghost things on the way there so as they were walking home DH asked the women if they could have a word with their kids about scaring DS as its started to put him off the group. They apparantly grinned at each other but agreed

Anyway on Friday they were on their way there and apparantly as the women walked past DH they said "woooo!" in his ear and burst out laughing to each other DH burst out crying and they ended up coming home early and now both are saying they don't want to go anymore.

I'm so annoyed that a group of thugs are spoiling this for them. DH doesn't get much time off work as it is.

I'm debating whether I should take DS tomorow and tell the women to leave DS and DH alone or would this make it worse??? either way I don't want them to stop going, why should they?

apology accepted, as per.

aitch but people with paranoid depression do imagine things.

I have an aunt who is paranoid beyond all reason. And the stuff she comes out with when she's not taking her tablets you couldn't make up.

She's sworn blind to my mum that she's heard her neighbours standing in their garden talking about her, that people have come up to her in the street and told her that someone's child isn't their child, iyswim, she went on holiday and said that some random stranger shouted at her that she was a child abuser (my cousin was badly scalded as a baby and this apparently related to that) and the list goes on. And none of it happened.

So if the op is genuine, then I think it's entirely possible that the dh imagined these women making ghost noises in his ear. In fact I would say it's highly probable.

ye gods. wouldn't the advice 'OP, by hook or by crook, get that man to a doctor' be better than an online diagnosis and a 'get a grip', then? or did get a grip work with your aunt?

maybe the best course of action would be to report this thread and let mn hq decide whether or not it is a troll?

Aitch. People have suggested a doctor. This is an online community. Yes of course it would be better if he sought help, if he exists, but if you post for advice then advice is what you get. You might not agree with that advice, but that is the beauty of such a forum, that you can pick and choose, take a bit from one post, and a bit from another.

Not that the OP would, even if she is genuine, she obviously ain't here now.

Have no idea if this real or not.

But find it oddly moving either way.

I absolutely get why he cried. That awful feeling of powerlessness and heightened sensitivity and other people's unkindness - like this father's crass remarks and the noisy, confident folk on the way to pre-school being obnoxious and too much.

I know that tear-pricking feeling exactly.

I know you feel. My DH was at the jobcentre yesterday and he drew a little lion on his paperwork. The interviewer told him off for it and said the office wouldn't accept it defaced and DH got a bit upset.

Some people need to show more tact I think. We moan when men are not sensitive enough and then take the piss when they are.

Is this thread for real? I mean, is it about real people in the real world?

This is from last August.

Oh yeh. Doh.

Not sure but it is from last year.

Wonder how the OP is now.

This thread is truely brilliant!
