Awkward situation

<< < (8/9) > >>

fjl:
Probably not a good question to ask and you dont have to answer it if you don't want but does your kid look like he's of mixed race? And if so, does he look more white or black?

If your kid does look more black than white it can be a reason why the little girl was mean to him and yes the father could be the one who influenced her. Of course she's only three years old and she could have just been mean not for racial reasons but simply because she was having a bad day or again because of the way her parents raised her and she just acts mean with everybody.

I really dunno :dunno

Just to play Devil's Advocate, they could also mean only that he didn't want to get gangraped in jail so he accepted their invitation.

my son went over to ask her if she wanted to play and she screamed leave me alone.  He came over to me and I said let's go play on something else.  He wanted to play on the giant slide/castle thing that she was on.  Everytime they tried to go up the steps she would cut my son off.  Again it's not like she hit my son with racial slurs, but me and this clown were both watching our children play.  I would think any adult would step in and tell their child to play nice at the very least.

I have a buddy that has full sleeves and does tatts for a living so I wasn't put off by the tatts on his arms until I saw what they were.

And I did tell my son that the girl was being a Grumpy McStuffins (our word for someone with a bad attitude) and left it at that.

You expect too much from society.  ;)

In my experience, parents who actually pay attention to their kids in public and/or take responsibility for their kids actions are quite rare.

I think you did the right thing here. I would just explain to him that some kids maybe don't like playing with other kids because maybe she isn't used to having other kids around so she is shy, but that she shouldn't shout, that's not right. You'd be surprised kids' level of comprehension, even at your son's age.

If you make the situation more generalized like that, then your son won't think it was him personally that she had problem with.

It sounds like this guy is just a bad parent, permitting his kid to be abrasive like that, perhaps that is how he perceives that his daughter protects herself in general. Probably a tactic from his prison experiences. It's unfortunate, because her attitude is a total product of his lack of intelligence.
