Come to find out she also hates the slide.
But she did love climbing all over the benches and park tables? lol Along with climbing the stairs on the playground.
Ok. Now that pictures are out of the way. My real reason of writing this post is to tell you about the lovely little girl at the same park, the same day.
Kinsley was "playing" on the playground. She was higher than I was and I was close just in case she got too close to the edge or wanted down.
Overbearing mom party of one.
Kinsley walked towards a twirly thing (idk what they are called?) and another little girl, probably 6 or 7, came up. Looked at Kinsley AND SAID 'THIS IS FOR BIG GIRLS ONLY" *insert pout*.
All I could do was stare at her. The girls dad walked up and finally said "That's not nice (insert whatever name)".
I wanted to knock that kid on the ground.
Heller? Kins is only 1 1/2. She is just happy she's out and about with real people. She doesn't care she can't climb down the swirly thing, all she wanted to do was explore.
I had my first glimpse of mean-girl-itis for Kinsley and it just broke my heart.
Obviously Kins had no idea what was going on or what that even meant but the coldness and meaness in that little girls tone was enough for me to hurt for K.
We left shortly afterwards, after Kins was done running around to different benches. lol
Have you encountered a "mean kid" yet? How do you handle it?
Obviously I wouldn't have really pushed the girl down.
But I did want to throw rocks at her dad.
Happy Tuesday Y'all!

Unfortunately it doesn't get any easier. There are always gonna be mean little jerk face kids and there's always gonna be mean jerk face adults. Every single time one of my girls comes home upset about a bully, I want to jump in the ring and fight their battle for them..and then I remind myself that it wouldn't be doing them any favors. They've gotta learn to stand up for themselves. Also, as sure as I am that my kids are good, sweet girls 85% of the time...I'm also certain they aren't perfect and have probably hurt someone's feelings along the way too....all I can hope is that it wasn't on purpose or out of spite. Because girls are MEAN!!
I punch anyone that's mean to A. Square in the eye.
lol... not yet but I sure dread the day that happens... bc I might actually put some action behind those words lol ;)
LOL!! Because I would have stared that kid down and even sneak in a way to knock down...LOL!! Your reaction is normal. When I encounter a "mean" kid, I would let the first strike slide and allow his/her parent to correct their child.
If there is a strike 2, I would correct that child with a "look little (boy/girl)-I-am-not-playing-with-you" stern voice. (Always maintain a serious eye contact.)Most of the time that works and you have officially put the fear of God in that child.
I had to do that on my children's behalf quite a few times. And the results were good. Hopefully you won't have to deal with such a meanie the next time. :)
ugh i would have punched the kid..okay maybe not. but really..
Following you now!
Have a wonderful day! Stop by nichollvincent.blogspot.com and say hello! :)
I am not a mom quite YET, so I can't say I know the feeling but reading it just broke my heart, and I guess before I am a parent I should probably work on the things that came out of mouth to that mean little girl!
:(

My boys don't like swinging much either.
And I haven't had too many run-ins with mean kids but when I do, I...BAM! Switch into teacher mode. It just takes over and I get all strict. Crazy how that happens.
Hi Sonja, I'm here from Southern Mama's Blog Hop, and your post really made me chuckle! Yes, I CAN relate - I've blogged about this issue twice on Go Momma! The first was called No Babies Allowed'! The other one I had to pull cos it offended one of my Mommy friends too much:P Honestly, the (over) protective instinct that overcomes me around any meanness towards my babies is hard to ignore! I think it's only natural to want to smack 'em in the teeth!;)
