My son found that a naked Barbie makes a handy gun – it had built in “handles” (picture legs pointing out …)

Nah, the POINT is you get MORE TOYS! Luckily I have a boy & girl so I got Hot Wheels and Barbies.
Now they’re older, I have someone to drive to the store for me (son) and bake me cakes (daughter- soon to graduate in: Baking & Pastry Arts at Oregon Culinary Institute AND she likes to clean-she ain’t ever moving out!)
I teach as well – more young minds to MOLD to my every whim!! bwhahahaha

“…trying to play games that are too violent for his classmates…” More like you little piece of shite is beating the crap out of other people’s kids. What if eric was on the receiving end, Juli? How would you feel about it?
Cut the crap and do something about it.

I worked at a fancy daycare for doctors and nurses and hospital staff. We had a lot of great parents, but we also had some real pieces of work there too. We didn’t get paid crap but we dealt with a lot of crap literally. The worst was when doctors would bring their kids in sick as a dog for us to care for so they could go to work.They knew their kids were sick and just didn’t care. So then the employees and all the other kids would get sick too and the cycle just repeated over and over.

We had one nurse make a worker cry because she accidentally got some of the bleach water solution we by law have to use on the changing tables on the little girl’s pants and it made a spot. The bitch made the daycare worker pay her back for not just what she paid for the pants but for the full price of the pants since she bought the pants on sale. The worker paid her. I sure as heck wouldn’t have paid her a penny. Don’t send your kids to daycare in nice clothes idiot!

I always feel that if you are super particular about how your kids are cared for then stay home and take care of them your damn self! Don’t give the workers a bunch of crap and put off your mommy guilt on us when we were trying to do a really good job and play with your kids all day and show them love when you were not there to do so. End rant.

Just because Eric probably won’t grow up to be a serial killer doesn’t make his behavior okay.

When I was in kindergarten a classmate stabbed me in the hand with a pencil. We both survived (me with a scar) , and he isn’t a criminal, but his behavior was definitely not acceptable

True, his play could be completely acceptable (i.e. he isn’t bothering any of his playmates), but how likely is it that his teacher would write home about that kind of play? And by his mother’s own admission his play is too violent, and it’s been going on for a few weeks. So it seems to me that violence isn’t the only issue. Respecting authority is also an issue.

So yeah, just because he’ll probably grow up to be well adjusted doesn’t make his *current* behavior any less bothersome.

Critical Grass: “I thought the whole point of having kids was to fulfill your unfulfiled dreams and expectations through them.”

Did you mean your maelstrom of unfulfiled dreams of normalcy and expectations? ;P

p.s. if the WHOLE point of having children is to feed them food they don’t like, I cannot WAIT to be a mother!!

I teach preschool and I’d have hell to pay if I sent any notes home like that! I have let parents know their kid doesn’t like whatever it is they keep sending for lunch, but if they don’t eat, I guess they will be hungry.

Thanks to that teacher, I now know that we don’t hurt people because hurting people is hurtful, as is the teacher’s use of i.e. when clearly he or she should have gone with e.g., but what kind of preschool has a “we don’t play games” rule?

I homeschool and you can believe that my little one is learning how to deal with a bully.

I’ve got a picky eater, and I’ve got a kid who will eat almost anything.

*Of course* I’d never force the kid who eats anything to eat something he doesn’t like – he’s easy to feed! Heck, these days he even enjoys cooking meals for the family.

But my picky eater? You bet I make her try new things and I also make her take a spoonful of the stuff she doesn’t like, and choke it down. Because if I had let her just eat what she wants, she’d still be eating nothing but white rice and french fries.

And sure we’ve had our battles, her and me, but every now and then I’ll hear her say, “You know what? I kind of like green beans. A little. What I’m saying is, I’ll eat them.”

Each kid is an individual. You can’t raise them all the same.
