I am not going to be able to handle teenagers.
We are at an indoor playground and an older boy (he is probably 6 or 7) is being mean to quint. He is yelling at quint "we don't want to play with babies go away leave us alone stop copying us.". I know Quint doesn't understand because he is just running around after this kid repeating whatever he says. But it breaks my heart someone might possibly not like my kid. He is perfect how could someone not like him. Is it bad I want to trip this kid?
Sprry if this is full of errors I stink at iPhone.

And also, on his fourth day of school, as we were all lined up outside waiting to go in, a little girl stage whispered to her father, "That's Milo. He's a bad boy.". At least her father had the decency to look mortified and reprimand her. I wasn't sure if Milo had heard or not, but the next time we were waiting in line, he whispered in my ear, "Am I a bad boy?", and I almost burst into tears. It was so, so terrible.
I guess I'm just trying to say, I've been there too, and it really, really sucks.
This whole post is making me sad.
My little guy is so social and I already get a little bothered when we're in a waiting room or subway and he's looking at someone and the person won't even acknowledge him. I have to remember that not everyone likes babies.
Fricb, I'll have to remember what you say so I can have it ready when the time comes.
I haven't experienced this yet, but I'd like to think I'd do the same thing if/when I do.
I've also been known to give the look to kids who don't listen. I admit it.
But, on the other hand, I will also be the first to remove my son from a situation where he is being not nice, so I am not just being mean to other kids
I'm going to have to try to remember this when the time comes, because the situations you guys have been describing are breaking my heart, and they didn't even happen to my kid.
