I am sick to my stomach (long vent)
I just got home from McDonald's in W. Babylon on Montauk Hwy and I had my 3boys plus a 4yr old little boy I babysit for and I am so upset right now. There were these 2 parents with 4kids each (They were sitting together) then this other lady sitting at a separate table with her 5yr old boy. Well the 1st set of parents I mentioned their kids kept teasing this little boy and then they would tell their moms what that said. For example one little boy went to his mom and said "I called that boy in the blue shirt a SUCKER because he is"  What the mom say "NOTHING" ok she said just try to get along. Well when the 5yr olds mom went to get napkins the other parents along with children were teasing the little boy  (the one mom said ok guys go get him since he's alone then they would start laughing) then they called him a brat. My heart just dropped I had no idea what to do, so I was about to go get the boys mother (she was gone for about a min) but then she came in and then the boy threw napkins at this boy and the parent of the thrower didn't say anything. So I took my kids and waited in the car until I saw the little boys mom come out so I went up to her and just said "OMG I am so sorry but those parents were no better then the children, and just so you know they were teasing your son when you stepped out" she said thank you for telling her.
Now should I have said something to the WHITE TRASH table? I wanted to so bad but the type of people they were I knew it wouldn't be pretty and I had my kids plus a little boy who's not mine so I bit my tong but I have to tell you I am so mad at my self for not saying something. How can people be so cruel to a child. Sorry but had to vent I can't stop thinking about it.

If I was alone, I definately would have gone and sat at the table until the Mom returned and told them to knock it off.
BUT with 4 children of your own to protect, I think you handled it perfectly. They could have done something scary to you or your kids.

I probably would have said something to the "mother" directly, but I think you did the right thing.......she is raising a bunch of bullies

Re: I am sick to my stomach (long vent)
That would make me so sad/mad! Especially if I was the mother of the child that was 'alone' being teased, nor would I tolerate DS teasing another child.
Personally, I would have said something to the adults of the teaser & maybe something to the parent of the teased child. It's inappropriate & hurtful, how anyone could sit back and encourage a child of any age to tease another is beyond me!

As I mentioned in the 1st post I waited outside to speak to the childs mom that was being teased. She did say thank you for telling her but I think she new already. But I do regret not saying something to the mean ones but I did mention this to the lady I babysit for and she said I handled it fine. She said if they were acting like that to a child who knows how they would of reacted to me sticking my noise into it and since I was there with her child and my 3 it was best that I left so I wouldn't expose them to it. But I still can't get it out of mind and it's been about 3hrs

I don't blame you. This makes me very angry and sad. I think you did the right thing. Your saying something could only have led to trouble with those disgusting pigs.

I dont think I would have unless it got worse.. I would certainly tell the mother of the child that was getting teased though.

Re: I am sick to my stomach (long vent)
OK, see...I am totally inappropriate when it comes to stuff like that. I have a loud mouth...and not so nice things come out. I would have SHAMED them and not let them get a word in edgewise. I dont' frazzle easily, so there would have been no talking back to me.
