Oh noooo you didn't!!!

in September 2011 Moms
We all love Bo, right? Thought I should inform you a kid, 3 or4 years old, spit a loogie on Bowen's nose while at a play place!

Bo just sat there stunned...I on the other hand yelled "hey"! Grabbed Bo out of the tunnel and showed whom I thought was his mom "your son just spit on my son!" I stormed off to clean Bo while my friend saw her take immediate action. I feel for her.

Are you for real? This is what kids are doing? I have seen hitting, biting, hair pulling, and pushing! NOW spitting?

I was shaking!!!! Came home and put Bo in the tub! I am still uneasy! When I think about Bo playing in a tunnel and spat on I want to cry. It hurts when your kid is the recipient of crude behavior. I had my first real tough parenting moment! It wasn't his health or a normal type of mishap! It was someone else that CHOSE to wrong Bo. That hurts. It is foggy how I want to react. I know there will be bullies! I know I cannot shelter Bo! But.... I really want him to NOT have these experiences.

What would you have done if you were me or the other mom?

    Holy cow! That stinks!!!! I would have done the same thing. As much as we don't want our kids to be exposed to that crap, just know it will make him a stronger person. And it gives you an opportunity to teach Bo how NOT to act.

    I would have done the same thing. It's the worse when it's our babies get hurt or feelings trampled on.

    When L was little she kept getting bit at daycare and it made me infuriated that someone let my baby get hurt! Or some little monster hur

    I think I would have reacted the same way. I can't believe that that happened to you and Bo!!!! As far as the other mom, if that were me, I think I would die! I would have snatched my son up had a talk with him and tried to track you down to apologize and

    Honestly? I think you need to put it all in perspective. It's hard to face it, but we can't protect our kids from everything 100% of the time. The kid was just being a kid-- yeah, he needed to be reprimanded so he can learn that that's not acceptable b

    I'm honestly not sure how I'd react. I'd like to think that I'd react calmly (a la toriwc), but I very well could have gone mama bear too.  I think ldcoffel had a really good perspective.  I'm sure J will eventually do something shudderworthy, n

    Thanks everyone for your honest answers.

    I sat on a few responses over night and thought about the flip side and if I over reacted. Jupiter was right; it wiped up it was gone and considering a 3 year old was the "offender" gave me some alleve

    I don't know how I would have reacted.

    I hate confrontation and can get pretty mousey in that kind of situation but there have been times when I get in protective mode and have let my temper get the best of me.

    I really think you need to consider the perspective of the other parent as well. I would be mortified if B did that to someone. But it may happen. She can bite when she gets over-stimulated or over-tired. I'm just waiting for this to happen at daycare.

    Wow! I am so sorry that this happened to you too. I think I would have been in instant tears too.

    Expectantsteelerfan,

    I do not see it as an end of the world experience. I do see it as a novel disgusting experience where another kid was clearly wrong.

    I should have notes these two older kids were being bullies before and w
