Crap day

[yoshysmum]

Why are kids so cruel?

Ds age 6, was playing outside and we decided to try half an hour unsupervised play as he was playing with his best friend.

15 mins in we hear a bit name calling but ds seemed to be coping so just kept an ear out, he then did his loud, squealy stim and all the kids took the mic out of him trying to get him to say he was a girl for doing so.

It ended with ds being kicked three times in the leg taking the skin off the area and a nasty bruise.

Poor ds has had a bad day anyway as his young carers group had a halloween disco and he didnt enjoy it one bit.

It took three hours to finally find out why not as he wouldn't tell us at first. It was too noisy and he felt stupid because he couldn't do the games that were played.

Poor ds is really starting to notice the differences between him and his peers and is becoming really stressed by it all.

Sound like an awful day.. :(

oh bless him. am so sorry to read this, as if life isn't difficult enough for our children without bullying on top
really hope tomorrow is a better day for him.

It has been, i think it was just the straw that broke the camels back really.

I am so stressed at the moment as we have our first paed app on sat and have been preparing information for it. it has just made me realise how bad ds problems are.

I think i need some me time (and chocolate!)

I know i will get through it and be okay though

Poor DS. Hugs for both of you.

Hope he has a nice day tomorrow.

I hope you follow up the kicking bit with the parents if you know them. Violence for any reason with children is unacceptable.

I agree, some well placed comments to the parents of the kicker would not be amiss. Personally I'd be horrified if my child did that to another child.

Your poor DS. Hope he's having a better day today. DH & I were just discussing last night about how nervous we were about DS2 realising he's different and having to explain things to him a bit. He has no concept of it at this point.

kids are so cruel, I let DDs play upstair the other day with a school friend of DD1. I leave the baby monitor on just to be sure they areok as walls are thick in this house. Heard "friend" tell DD2 if she didnt do as she was told, she'd go to sleep and be taken to heaven!! lucky DD2 wouldnt have understood, she is only 3 but this "friend" is 7!!

Thanks everyone,

Feel much better today, much more positive. Ds has had a much better day.

Ds also doesn't really understand his problems either although he is noticing that his school work is falling, He started reception in the top stream and is now in second from bottom.

I normally have to stay out when he is playing out as there are a lot of bullies in our street, I didnt yesterday as it was just ds and friend. However the bullies turned up[hsad]
