Kids can be so mean. We just moved into our neighborhood 2 years ago. Kids are always coming to our house to play with the kids. Recently, one of the kids told my daughter it was "better" before we moved here. That no one used to argue and they had soooo much fun. Well, my daughter was so hurt by this. I try to tell her it's not true....that "if it was true they wouldn't be over constantly and wondering where you are when you aren't home and what time you will be home cuz they want to play etc...." I also will tell my kids that this is life.....people will say things throughout life that will upset you; it never ends - you just have to learn to deal with it. Am I worrying too much as usual?

No. It is your job as a parent to teach them how life is and to prepare them. We encounter brats as children and later as adults the same brats are out there trying to wreak havoc on people. They are in the workplace, in extended family, sometimes even siblings. If they dont know how to deal with these people they will have a hard time.

No you are not worried too much. It's hard when they are little and these things happen. It breaks your heart to have it happen. You are on the right track explaining the reasons. It is hard to understand how kids can be so cruel at a young age but it happens and always will. Just teach your own that is never appropriet to act that way.

I'm not sure what your question is. Are you asking if you have to continue to be a nurturing and guiding parent forever? Yes, that's what you sign up for when you have a child. The issues will change but their need for you to be supportive and help them figure out their way in the world doesn't end until the day you take your last breath.

No you are not worrying too much. Yes you have to let kids fight their own battles because mum isn't always going to be there to do it for them. BUT you are not wrong in comforting your kids and tellings them what's right. You are doing well and sound like a good mum.

I don't think so - when I read your question, it sounded like you were actually trying to get involved in these issues. It is good that your kids feel they can talk to you about what is worrying them, and you can give them good advice (what you are thinking about it and why) and let them work it out for themselves then. You sound like a good mother with good kids. I don't think you are trying to fix things - you are helping your kids but not really intervening when it is not required. Good luck.
