Brandi this blog is for you! This is my horror story that might match your horror story in the park! ha ha ha I left out names and specifics...but still I think an amusing little story! ha ha
Niles and I went to a very good friend of ours on Mother's Day for a cook out. There are always a lot of his co-workers there, and most of them I've gotten pretty acquainted with. But today there was a new military couple. This man, his wife, and 16 month old boy had just moved to New Mexico and didn't know anyone and was trying to make a good impression.
They seemed pretty friendly and outgoing and the night started off good. Every one's kids were getting along great! There were about 4 little little kids and 4 older kids that were playing outside. The entire time the babies were playing in the living room their 16 month old kept hitting Dorian! Of course I didn't say anything and kept glancing at the mom to do something. But honestly NOTHING! She would take him over to his father and tell him to punish him and in return the daddy would give him a toy and tell him to go off and play!
Okay so that is the start of it. Later on each child had a toy truck that they were running back and forth. The 16 month old boy had a larger one and the other two babies (Dorian included) had smaller ones. The little boy came over and pushed the other two babies out of the way and took their trucks! Every one's mouths dropped...The mother looked at us all and said that she was sorry but her child has never been around other kids before and didn't know how to behave!
But let her kid keep hitting my kid. She finally, about ten minutes before we had to leave, got down on the ground to supervise the temper tantrums, hitting, and throwing of toys her son was doing to Dorian....But SERIOUSLY!
Niles and I were in separate rooms so He didn't really see all that I saw, but what are you to do when the mother of a kid, who is beating up on your kid, doesn't do anything!?!?!?! Please Help for the future because this isn't the last time we are going to mingle with these people. They are apart of his shop and will always be at get together. And apologies were thrown our way the next day at work for the misbehaved child, but what do you do in the moment?!!?!?!? Anyone ever been in that type of situation!??!?!
But that is my horror story, almost as good as the kid throwing rocks with the parent in the car Brandi! ha ha ha

Oh man! That is a good one. Exactly...what do you do at that point?!? Especially in your case because the mother WAS right there as opposed to a dad in a truck from a distance, lol. Good luck girl! Something tells me that our patience will be tested many times over with other people's kids, ha ha ha.
