I totally understand and you would have been totally justified in beating the crap out of that little brat. I have been there myself. At a playgroup, this little 3 year old started hitting my daughter’s hand because she was touching his toy. I wanted to grab him off the toy he was on and beat the daylights out of him. But I didn’t. I did make a pretty rude comment to him though. Gotta love those shining moments as mommies.

I know the feeling! I once hollered at an 8-year-old in MocDonaldsLand for chucking plastic balls at my 2-year-old and making her cry. I was like, “She’s TWO YEARS OLD!”
Its hard when unsupervised big kids show up at playgrounds and start acting crazy. You know how kids get when they know they can probably get away with anything because they’re on their own! I like when some playgrounds have separate “tot lots” for the smallest kids, with all the simple playground stuff that doesn’t even interest the big kids… and then the big slides and monkeybars and stuff in another section.

I think you handled it well all things considered. That kid deserved to get a nasty look shot at him IMHO.

As the mother of a soon to be 8-year-old, I’d have felt that you were perfectly justified for chasing him down the street, even if it had been my brat-ass kid.

I would have gone apeshit on the kid– and if he’d gone to get his mother, I’d go apeshit on her for raising such a butthole for a kid.

Kudos to you for restraining yourself. I would have gone apeshit on the little punk.

you handled that waaaaay better than I would have. You have the will and control of the karate kids’ teacher who can catch a fly with a chopstick.

DUDE…you totally have more self-control than I do. I would have grabbed that kid by his ear and demanded he lead me to his home so I could vivisect his parents for not doing their job and teaching him better.

You have got to be kidding me! You would have been totally justified in beating that kid up! That makes me so mad!

I TOTALLY would have been the Mom who went insane on this boy. I’m sure it would have done him a world of good to see an adult get up in his face about it. I’m mean, though. lol Seriously though, you did good by keeping your cool. You have a lot more patience with parentless children then I do. Who ARE these people who let their 8 year olds run around alone? I would have called the police and told them that there were a couple of kids wondering around alone at the park and let them deal with it. BWAAHAHAHA… I really am mean. Truly… Mean.
