My family and I moved into a new area last summer and promptly had difficulty with a child who stomped his foot on my 5 year olds arm. His mothers reaction was to coddle him and ask 'why did you do that hon?', I was furious and said it didnt matter why but that it was unacceptable regardless. This started a year long ordeal with my kids being called names, yelled at, cursed at and generally made to feel scared and uncomfortable in their own home. I really want to stop all of this once and for all. Do you think it would be helpful if I were to mail a letter to the mother asking her for her help in solving the situation with our kids (not that they need to be friends but just so they leave each other alone and dont talk about each other negatively)? If so, what should I ask her? ie how do I word it so it does not sound like I am putting her down? If not, what should I do instead? I cant live like this anymore.
