Actually, I think flashing the lights in the bathroom, while annoying, is not bullying. It's just a thing kids do to play, including while in a room alone. Did you not blink the lights a lot as a child?

Exactly! She has to teach her daughter to handle things herself if she has a minor problem with a friend. At some point, trust that she has talked to and taught her daughter well enough. Sorry for the boy in your class and for you! I know moms like that think they are being helpful but it is so damaging socially and…

Pretty sure she is a gluten free, vegan with LOTS of allergies and other special requirements/instructions. Also, don’t forget the tissues!!! (Daughter’s hair can't always suffice)

Well said. In some way it is teaching her daughter to react in the stereotypical “girl” way of collapsing in tears at every injustice.

Same. The play group with her would HAVE to have alcohol to get through it.

As you should! I have both girls and a boy and address all issues with them directly to teach them how to behave not how to be a “victim” their whole lives like she seems to be.

If she was so offended then you address it at the time it happens not later via email. If I feel like someone is wrong about something then I get to it immediately. THAT is how to show her daughter to be strong and stand up for herself, not smiling until she gets to her computer.

In her defense she probably had a low paid, minority for a nanny so she “gets the struggle”. Lol.

Exactly my thought! I’m assuming she is wanting her daughter to grow up as a well rounded, confident, secure in her beliefs and independent woman. This seems to be the worst approach ever. She is teaching her to rely on her mom for any uncomfortable situations instead of giving her knowledge and words to do it alone.…

Me too!

But the key point is that you talked to your daughter and let her handle it. You taught her to stand up for herself while giving her the confidence to do it. This lady sounds like she spends much of her time shooting of emails and phone calls that in the long run have taught her daughter nothing other than to depend…

No doubt that I wouldn't want her back at play group. Finding other moms that you enjoy personally not just socially with kids is hard enough as it is. The only positive thing here is at least she put it all out there upfront in the beginning. I have two daughters and a son. I do go out of my way with my girls…

Also, sounds like a kid just playing not trying to embarrass her “vulnerable” friend.

Thank you so much!

How bad did it hurt? Or take to recover? Was it worth it? Sorry for the integration but after 4 pregnancies it is something definitely on my radar. I know I’m not gonna be rocking a bikini. I’m old and stretch marks...but just want to have clothes fit smoothly all over again. My abs are totally separated now so no sit…

Republicans everywhere racing for Prozac and Valium RXs.

I hope she was too. If not then Mabel kinda sucked. Jealous of your finds. The Dyson deal was AMAZING!!!

Exactly! Which the same dudes do for free on the reg!!!

I’m with you! Feel like that when at an estate sale! In all truth...if it were mine, I would rather someone love it even with changes than everyone think it’s garbage! Seriously, think about all the things you see and are horrified by even at goodwill! Enjoy it, girl!

Love a nice goodwill find! It is the best feeling ever! Same with a yard sale!
