And she knew...Yeah, ditto what everyone else said. And she knew that in the way she approached it, that you probably wouldn't say or do anything(especially with a bunch of kids around). <BR/><BR/>I'm the same way with people. I don't mind people so much, but it's the jerks that lurk around every corner that keep me closed off a lot of the time. <BR/><BR/>Your son did nothing wrong, you know that. Hopefully the next class will go better. And if she next to you in the future, you should quietly get up and move. But do it so that SHE'S aware that you're moving because of her, but no one else is. I know that could be construed as bitchy in and of itself, but that's how I roll. <BR/>Good luck at the next one.TheHMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01039624607685855586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22151779.post-13604280700252177252008-08-02T10:25:00.000-07:002008-08-02T10:25:00.000-07:00Craziness.

Jamie says english people use the word naughty a lot (remember austin powers :) Does mother of Spawn have an accent? ...On another topic, speaking of non conforming toddlers - When we are in Chloe's ballet class and all of the other "good little girls" are doing plies in a circle, Chloe is hanging from the ballet bar in the back of the room chanting "I climb like monkey" "I climb like monkey". Looking forward to our little ones getting together soon ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22151779.post-67288376252858327692008-08-01T13:29:00.000-07:002008-08-01T13:29:00.000-07:00People are jerks.

And you did the only appropriate thing you could do in that situation. Well done. I don't know what I would've done, but I'm sure it would've made me look almost as bad as that idiot mom. What a nightmare. <BR/>It sounds like Ethan is a perfectly normal 2 year old.

I thought that Ethan was going to have done something that embarrassed you (based on the first section of your post), but it sounds like he acted like a normal two year old (which is what ALL if his behavior sounds like to me-we could pow wow over the hitting issues). And, uh, he didn't even do anything bad. At all. You should see Music Together where I go. Lots of waaay worse behavior. But they make you take your shoes off at the beginning of class:)KMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345570249725222608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22151779.post-12140905080536519362008-07-31T16:44:00.000-07:002008-07-31T16:44:00.000-07:00First of all, I HATED our Music Together.

We only went twice because I sweated through my clothes both times trying to keep Harry in the song circle/ from breaking things/ from stealing the g-d damn egg shakers and rain sticks-- you get the idea.<BR/><BR/>Second-- what an idiot mom!!

No way is she to call another child, or instruct her child to call another child, naughty. Are you kidding? That is just not in the realm of mother-coolness. <BR/><BR/> My son was always the one leading the kids to find the hidden instruments in the cabinet that were not to be used at that time.

When the mom says that to her son "Tell Ethan he is being naughty", you should say, "Ethan, tell Spawn's mom (ok use real name here) that she is being very naughty for teaching her son to say such inappropriate things that totally went out of style in, oh, let's say 1974." Of course that would probably backfire terribly. But I'd love to see what she said.cicadaladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09544031493717873365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22151779.post-86793117296299674272008-07-30T12:13:00.000-07:002008-07-30T12:13:00.000-07:00Lunacy, pure and simple.

Unfortunately for Spawn he's gonna get his ass kicked in a major way one day for all the "social skills" he's learning from her. I thought about you when I heard about the earthquake. I thought your next post would be from somewhere over the US because you were flying back to DC! I'm so glad you didn't feel anything.
