If a kid called your daughter a name.. and you talked to this kids mom...?

Question

the converstaion went well... but the kid never apologized to my daughter.. is that odd? If another mother called me because my kid called her daughter a name, I would make my kid apologize

Answer 1

not all parents follow the same rules.

If your talk with the parent went well, I'd settle for that. Hopefully it won't happen again. Waiting for an apology could be a very long wait.

Sometimes you just have to hope the conversation will prevent future problems.

Answer 2

Teach your kid what was taught to me when i was a child and to thousands other people in this world and im sure you heard it,, there is a reason they say it! maybe this time you can get the meaning of it... Sticks and stones may break your bones,, But NAMES will never hurt you. Not if u let them,. People are cruel and mean and your child needs to understand that,, she cant grow up in a bubble away from all the insensitive people in this world today, Just make sure you teach her that when someone is mean to her, its not her its them with the problem, People that put other people down, do it to make themselves look better, if not for other people but for themselves. What goes around usually comes back around and im sure you heard this one too,,, Teach your child to be a good person and to respect other people. Just because other kids arent raised right doesnt mean you should run and tattle to their mom,,, They dont care or their child wouldnt be being mean in the first place!
There is a poem called Children Live What They Lean, I wish i had it for u... Its someplace in my papers! I have 2 children, and they are both good people and have respect, But they have also been taught that if they give respect and they dont recieve it, they dont need to have any respect for those rude, crude, mean people< including other children. And they dont have to be mean but stand up for themselves. No one deserves to be hurt. But you cant be hurt by someone else unless you let them hurt you.>> another one of those sayings that is true. take care and raise your baby to be a good person. not hateful,, so dont tattle and remember your not always going to be able to fight her battles. take care and good luck !!

Answer 3

arguements between kids are normal. parents shouldn t try to interfere. I find, that kids whose mummys always come and stand up for them are less popular than moms who let the kids be kids.
Today the kid gave your daughter a name, tomorrow they will be pals again. Let your daughter make the expirience and let her become a self confident young woman

Answer 4

Common courtesy has gone down the tubes somewhat! Some people do the right thing, others don't. All I can say is you're doing a good job with the upbringing of your girl. Nevermind the poor parenting of others.

Answer 5

I don't know if that's necessarily odd. It is polite to have your child apologize, but a forced apology is not a sincere one, and doesn't solve anything. As long as the child knows what she did was wrong, and your daughter is okay, I think it's best to let them work things out among themselves. Parents don't need to involve themselves in every little tiff.

Answer 6

its not ODD....because it is very possible that the mother was embarrassed and she may have talked to her child about it when u were not around and she might have told her child to apologize but that does not mean that the child will listen.....kids will be kids....u know how it is....u were a kid once too....

Answer 7

if my daughter called someone else a name and i found out about it, i would take her over to the childs house,and make her apologize to the child and the parents.

Answer 8

Some parents make their kids apologize others don't that's something you can't change, instead teach your child to say sorry, that is all you can do and hopes she grows up with that instilled in her head.

Answer 9

That's the basic problem with a lot of parents today: Their kids can do no wrong, and anyone who even implies anything critical about their "little angels" automatically become pariahs.

Answer 10

It is odd. But that can be life sometimes. You should probably leave things at that, because the other mother probably just has different parenting ideas than you.
