yell at there kids from afar versus getting up off their butts and speaking to the toddler directly. If your child is pushing and yanking on my child, don't you think you should get your child instead of screaming at him from across the park?? Rant over 

Did this happen in Adobe Flats? 

No it was at water park onbase

Oh ok. It has happened before, I think it is complete laziness on the mothers part. She was probably laying out and too big to get up and grab her kid. 

Well I wasn't sure which one was his mom, it was like a mommy pow wow today over there. It happened 2 times and she would scream her head off and I would get up and remove my daughter from the childs hands and she just sat there. I couldn't believe the amount of screaming that went on over there this morning. I understand moms want to get together and chit chat, i get it, but really if your child is hurting another child get up and correct the situation. UGH! 

I'd probably be telling my kid to stop AS I ran over there. But yea, the parent should be getting their butts over there to intervene pronto.

Yes, i have done that as I was in the process of getting to my child if she was doing that. I understand children push other children, my daughter is no angel. Its just all in how parents react to it. Yelling from across the park doesn't teach the child what he/she is doing wrong. The child didn't even pay the yelling parent any mind. 

when I go to the park, I rarely sit down...I'm usually running around the playground wondering what the heck is he going to do next ...

thats what i have to do at the park too.. lol 

My daughter can hold her own with older children, but this boy was a bit younger and she knows not to push or hit younger children. She's almost 3 and this boy was barely 2 I'd say. I know its his age, I wasn't faulting the boy, it was the yelling mom that should be teaching him instead of screaming. 

I'm sorry that happened Carrie

me too, we left shortly after. I couldn't take all the yelling. Neither could my daughter, she was ready to go rather quickly this morning. 

Carrie, you would be AMAZED at how many parents think this behavior is ok. Thier behavior only escalates as they get older, and yes, the parents still think its ok. They teach their kids that touching/ violence is ok. Thats why the schools have so many issues dealing with this type of kid/parent. They make every excuse in the book for thier kids, even in high school! Wonder what these kids are gonna be like as adults when they are not able to take responsibility for their actions or when mommy and daddy are no longer there.

Criminals or wife beaters I'm sure. I just think the old "get down on their level and tell them what they're doing wrong" really works most times. Or a good spanking lol, I'm kidding I don't spank, but some kids need a spanking sometimes. 

when did parents stop raising their kids ...

Somewhere towards the beginning of the 60's.....

yeah, a little girl actually slapped my child in the face, while we were at the park.

I would have been so mad. Sometimes I have to leave a park because the kids are so bad that I'm afraid I'd react to the child as it was my own. 

well, the girl's parents saw her do it, and made her give my daughter a hug and said sorry.

Thats HORRIBLE!!!!

Awww I am glad to see they did that. See, incidents like that, where a parent steps in and acknowledges their child was wrong, are completely understandable. Kudos to good parenting! 

I know, makes me not even what to take her anywhere, but she needs the socialism

LOL! 

THE PLOT THICKENS! 

ydkm I'm innocent, my daughter is too. (in this debacle.) 

You should have GBCG. wear him out good and tired like turd-butt is! She almost fell asleep on the way home. 

I just want to clarify which group of moms she is refering to. There were like 3-4 groups when I got there. 

I have a park date (in your hood, btw) :( sorry. I told you between now and pay day I was booked! lol
