Awkward situation

<< < (6/9) > >>

Singapura:
Racism can be found in any country and within any community. I'm white and my wife is Chinese but has an Austrian passport. In the Netherlands we encountered far less prejudice then in Singapore. Locals automatically assume that I'm rich and that my wife is a gold digger based only on the color of our skin. Then there's the different religions, subgroups etc. The only way the Singaporean government keeps a lid on things is to come down hard on discrimination. The onlything that should never be tolerated is intolerance.

Gotta remember their age... it is entirely possible either of them smelled like poo.  No one wants to play with the poo kid.

I think you're all misunderstanding. It was my impression that mystik wasn't a dumbass and by 'rude' he meant being necessarily unkind. However, maybe he's just overly sensitive. In that case, why talk about it?

I don't play any of those kinds of games.

I disagree about the innocence thing, that's really more a situation of naivete, however the real issue here is bigger than your kid's experience, or his curiosity. It's a matter of the situations you encounter, how you work in and develop from them, and then how your kid (and ultimately your family) does also. You were very 'enabling', making such things possible of happening again, perhaps worse, as well as things when you're not there.

Girls are mean.

Then you have to tell him that once a month, when the get older, they get even meaner.


Then, some have a week of pre-crankiness, the week of during crankiness, and the week of after crankiness.  So if he's lucky he'll have a good 4 or 5 days a month.

I see a correlation between these three.

Really? Do tell.
