I want my kids to learn to take care of themselves, but I want them to know i will protect them too. Finding the balance of knowing when or if we should step in can be kind of hard. I get pissed because I even have to think about that in the toddler years...uggg<br /><br /> Your daughter sounds like an awesome little soul, and she's adorable to boot.<br />hi from mk'sSisterSisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07052101701852008684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2230384076641171546.post-12725781645969283312012-04-19T17:02:27.435-05:002012-04-19T17:02:27.435-05:00Oh, that is a hard thing to see.

My heart always twinges a bit when I see soemthing like this happen to my own daughter...and I get that lump in my throat when she looks at me and says But Mama, what I do to her? And though I know its age appropriate (great point by the way) it still sucks....so I just hug her and tell her she did nothing wrong its just that sometimes, just like she does, the other child lost her words and was not sure what to say...Oh, OK Mama, I hope she finds them she'll say....and she smiles, asks for a kiss and goes back to playing....and I hope, like you, hope for more puppies and rainbows!!!Maria The Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895285839972099229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2230384076641171546.post-28010310701796328902012-04-19T10:53:54.105-05:002012-04-19T10:53:54.105-05:00yes, Melinda, I agree- especially about the Girl. ...yes, Melinda, I agree- especially about the Girl. i know i called her a "brat" and i only meant that because, in the moment, it was upsetting... but i fully agree she was behaving like a +/- 2 year old would with no supervision...<br /><br />this stuff happens. i just wish it wasn't so early on, you know? i kinda like rolling around in the puppies and rainbows. ;)christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983259980848913151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2230384076641171546.post-10521548655012274832012-04-19T10:31:25.004-05:002012-04-19T10:31:25.004-05:00That's a toughie and I think I would have been...That's a toughie and I think I would have been as perplexed as you were about what to do. The Girl, however, was acting "appropriately" (bad choice of words, I know) for her age. Her parents, however, were not. They should have intervened as it was THEIR DAUGHTER'S behavior that was the problem. Sigh.....westmetromommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00633405262361035502noreply@blogger.com
