As a responsible adult, I feel we shouldn't allow bullies to continue on unchallenged. She might be little and young now, but if not now, then when is it appropriate to step into the fray in defense of the victim? If you saw teens shoving another teen around would you look the other way? How about a man beating up a woman? Perhaps if they had been called on their actions when they were young enough for it to make an impression, they wouldn't act like hooligans when they get older.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3609092836310938129.post-32474410466815919962011-10-27T13:46:54.299-04:002011-10-27T13:46:54.299-04:00Dear Rea,
I agree with the 2 postings above. But I...Dear Rea,<br />I agree with the 2 postings above. But I'm your aunt and Nixon's great aunt, you know me. I think very shortly after assuring Nixon that he was a good boy, I would have taken my leave, with child and friend & friends child, saying you just couldn't stand the chaos. You must say it loudly. <br />I cannot stand or approve of this chaos. And if they didn't all get the noted finger, you would be doing better than I would.Lynnevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10701874710716688089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3609092836310938129.post-36118969481338902522011-10-27T09:55:21.752-04:002011-10-27T09:55:21.752-04:00We had this happen last year.

Then, I went and found his parents and told them. Your bully is the same-ish age, though. Tough. I have removed my child from the situation. I suppose rather than tell a parent that they suck at what they do or yell at their kid (haha), I just don't let my boy play with the other kid. That is just me. :) GOOD LUCK!!!Pteri Tarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00122815973686994392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3609092836310938129.post-33440596221600960342011-10-27T09:54:19.882-04:002011-10-27T09:54:19.882-04:00Hell, I'd tell the child no we don't hit. ...Hell, I'd tell the child no we don't hit. If the other mom's aren't going to tell their child to quit then you have to, have to protect your kid. It is your job to protect him. If the other mom's say something about that, then tell them, well, I wouldn't have said anything to him/her if you had. He/she hit my child and I went in and protected him like any other mom would. I'm sure if Nixon was hitting your child, you'd do the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
