If your child had a dangerous encounter with one of their friends, leading you to ban that kid from future events, and other parents followed suit, would you feel bad?
This man and his wife have a 5-year-old son named S, who is friends with a girl his age named D. D is full of energy, but her mom doesn’t do a thing to parent her or redirect that liveliness, so D is really out of control.
When D misbehaves, she refuses to apologize. D loves to scream when things don’t go her way. D’s mom even said to his wife that somebody should really yell at D to teach her a lesson, so this woman is aware of what a nightmare her kid is.
“D often pushes other children when around others. She had often bitten children and [grabbed] toys that others play with. [Her] mom gives no consequences for D,” he explained.
“For example, at a recent party, D pushed the birthday boy away to blow out the candles. [Her] mom just scolded her, and nothing happened. In another event, D nearly pushed a girl off a climbing frame. [Her] mom just said don’t do that.”
Recently, he and his wife took their son swimming, and D was there. D grabbed his son’s head and held him down under the water aggressively while laughing about it.
His wife raced over there in ten seconds to come to their son’s rescue. Thankfully, their son wasn’t hurt, but he was extremely terrified and told them he never wanted to see D again. D ran away, and of course, her mom didn’t address what happened.
That night, D’s mom messaged them a half-hearted apology on behalf of D. He and his wife talked about it and made the decision to never allow their son to be around D again, because she’s a danger.
His wife was in charge of throwing a summer party for all of the kids in their group of friends, and she didn’t invite D or her mom to come.
“When it was over, a few moms commented on how much quieter it was without D. This has led to D and her mom being excluded from events and meet-ups,” he added.
“In addition, some parents will now move away when D and her mom are around. My wife feels very guilty about the whole thing, so [is she a jerk]?”
D’s mom needs a serious wakeup call, and hopefully, not being invited to events and parties will help her see how much of a monster her own kid is.
D could have easily drowned their son if his wife hadn’t been paying attention. The fact that D did that, plus she bites, pushes, and scratches other kids, means she is dangerous, and something has to be done about it before someone gets hurt.
