Day 22: Rant about something. Get up on your soapbox and tell us how you really feel.
Oh I am all over this one!
So right now, my biggest issue is this little girl at daycare who is in my daughter's class. I'll call her Tina just for privacy purposes. There's also a boy in her music class who I'll call Tom.
This little girl, Tina, is a bully. She hits, she bites, she pushes, she pulls hair. You name it, she does it. Last week I watched her attack another little girl in the class and hit my daughter. Then Friday she bit my daughter. Hard enough that there is still a quarter size black and blue on her arm. Monday, I watched her grab my daughter by the jacket and try to hurt her and yesterday, I watched her push my daughter from behind and knock her on her face.
Excuse me?
When did this kind of behavior become OK?
It's really upsetting to me that this behavior is allowed to take place. I know that the daycare is not at fault. I know that there is only so much they can do to discipline these kids. I know that they love my daughter and feel bad that this little brat is bullying her and all the other kids in the class.
What kills me the most most is that my daughter is so sweet. She has no idea that this kid is being mean to her. She just kind of looks at her like what is your problem and then goes about her business. My daughter has never bitten anyone. Sure, if you take a toy from her she might take a swing at you, but that's normal toddler behavior. She doesn't just walk up to random kids and hit them for no reason! Plus, we always correct her when she hits and she doesn't hardly do it at all anymore.
This morning I was pushed over the edge. When I dropped Baby Girl off at daycare, the Mom of Tina was leaving daycare. As we passed them, she said to her friend, 'Oh that's Tina's friend!' Um no bitch. This is not Tina's friend. This is the girl who Tina hits, pushes and bites. They are not friends.
I seriously wanted to yell at her. I wanted to tell her that her kid is a brat and bully and that she makes me want to pull my kid from the daycare. I wanted to tell her to get her shit together and discipline her child so she stops being such a little shit all the time.
Of course I didn't say any of those things. Instead I'm ranting about it here. But if it happens in passing again, you can bet your ass I'll be opening my mouth.
Then there is this boy, Tom, in her music class. Another little shit. He takes toys from other kids. He runs around the room and jumps on random people. He yells and is completely disruptive to the class. And his grandmother just sits there and watches him do all of this.
Um...lady...don't you see me staring at your kid hoping that a lightening bolt will shoot from my eyes and zap him in the ass? Why are you just letting this kid do whatever he wants?! I mean he seriously just rips toys out of the hands of the other kids. And she just watches.
I know that kids can be unruly. I know they can have tantrums and throw fits that would make people think there's an earthquake. I know they can have bad days and misbehave like a honey badger. I get it. But these kids aren't examples of bad days. These kids are examples of bad parenting.
I don't care how bad that sounds. It's the truth.
I don't want to hear "I dont' know what to do with him" or "I don't know how to control her." It's not an excuse. Discipline your kids. It's that easy. Set boundaries and don't let them cross the lines. Figure it out because you don't want to be that parent with the shithead kid that no one wants to be around.
