My cryptonite vs. a baby

in November 2013 Moms

So a friend just posted on FB that several girls in the lunch line ganged up on her daughter and were calling her ugly.  This very poised 8 year old did not fight back or break into tears, she turned on her heel and walked to the end of the line.  Kudo's to her for taking the high road. 

When I turned this back onto myself and realized that I am having my own child in less than 8 weeks I literally had a physical reaction/gut drop/I'm going to vomit moment.  I cannot handle when people I love are hurting emotionally.  I want to take it on for them and make it all better for them, talking even adults!  How the HELL am I going to handle my own child's emotional pain, hurt, uncertainty?  I have not panicked yet but holy shit...when I think of someone making my child feel bad about themselves I can't breathe.

IN THRU THE NOSE, OUT THRU THE MOUTH!

    As an educator, I just ask that you do not blame your childs teacher every time your child has a conflict or injury. There have been times I could have kissed a childs boo boo but I am not that kind of person because I am not their parent. I only shut down harassment. I have had to tell kids to learn how to appropriately stand up for themselves or walk away.

    As someone who one day will entrust her child to an educator, your reading comprehension skills frighten me.
    Trying to figure this one out too.  When did anyone say anything about blaming a teacher?

    I am giving her a heads up prior to having school aged children. Since you probably don't teach you wouldn't understand why I side stepped all other conversation and said this. But I see attacks are just common instead of asking why I would say that first.

    Mayday, mayday, I've been hijacked!

     

    @orijinale, I have mad respect for teachers but @CFox is right, this post has about as much to do with teachers as it does hemorrhoids.  Kindly take your soapbox to a post where teachers are being blamed for bullying.

    OP, I've had the same thoughts as well. My husband even told me our son will probably get beaten up one day... I understand your concern.  I don't have any good advice for you... Just wanted to say that I know what you mean.

    There is a television commercial where a mom follows her son around in school, answering questions for him, dodging the dodge ball for him... It's pretty funny, but at this point, it is sounding kind of accurate as far as what I'm feeling.
