It's about my friend and her son so I think it's ok to put it here.....

My friend just showed up a little while ago and we were sitting there talking and she keeps talking about how her kid is SICK!!!! WTF then why are you here???? I didn't even invite her, she just showed up, which is fine but not when your kid is sick. She even said her FIL who keeps him on the weekends asked to take him to some football game tonight and she told him no because, her words "he's too sick, he doesn't need to be out doing stuff like that" OH but taking him to play with other people's kids IS ok...but not sitting in a stand watching a game??? Can someone show me the logic in that??? Because I'm just not seeing it


THEN this kid is almost 4, Casen is 4 1/2. They were playing and they tend to not get along...not saying my child is better or anything, so please don't take it that way. But Casen is extremely smart...he gets frustrated with Caleb, he doesn't listen, he doesn't play "right" all he wants to do is run and hit and stuff like that...Casen isn't like that at all, he tries to get him to play games and stuff and it just doesn't work...and they just don't get along that well. But he hit Casen in the head...but Casen wasn't hurt so whatever. But then he scratched his face HARD. Like it cut his skin, there was blood (I mean not pouring out or anything) she calls Caleb out there and says "did you scratch Casen?" Caleb said yes but that Casen had hit him and Casen immediately looked up and said no I didn't, and started crying more, like you could really tell he was NOT lying. There was nothing else done, he didn't get in trouble or anything? Really?? He's almost 4 he knows not to do that.

Then she also showed up at lunchtime...hadn't fed her kid. No big deal, I make them all sandwiches, he eats just the inside part of the sandwich...not the crust...and really there was more there he could have eaten before he got to the crust. Then he asks for another sandwich..so I just make him half of one. He does the same thing, leaving quite a bit there. But his mom says nothing so I don't...my kids have to eat the crust but it's her kid, whatever. So he goes on and on about still being hungry. By this time Casen has finished his sandwich and asked for Pirate's Booty, for those that don't know it's like cheese puff chips things...but it's more natural so "good" for them as far as a snack goes. So I offered that to Caleb as well...he refuses so I tell him just to try one (they are small) and then if he really doesn't like it I'll find him something else. He puts one in his mouth, chews it then spits it all over the place!!!! He ends up eating 2 bowl fulls of applesauce. I don't know I find it quite rude not to feed your child then bring him over and let him be so rude about what I give and waste food like that you know?


Ok I'm done....I feel better

I really hate it when people bring their kids out when they are ill, especially if they don't ask first. My Mum has rheumatoid arthritis and is on drugs which make her immunosuppressed and sometimes friends of mine turn out with sick kids - makes me cross.
Sounds a bit like she might have a difficult child to me! She is probably jealous as yours sound very well behaved. I would just reflect on how good yours are and feel sorry for her hun!

^^ that's not a difficult child, it's a parent who doesn't know what discipline is aparently.
i'm sorry, but our 2 year olds in day care behave better then what you just described,
i'd crawl up the walls if that had been me!

I'd be really annoyed if someone did that to me, especially bringing a sick kid over

Yeah he really isn't a difficult kid...he has a screwed up life. Not to talk bad about my friend BUT just a bit of background on her. This is her 2nd kid..with the same dad...her older one is 8 now, she abandoned her, just left her with her parents. She now lives back there in her parents house with this other kid...yet still doesn't claim the first one...same dad everything. She really doesn't know how to parent. But still it's quite annoying for her to do that....that's just common sense

how rude when mine or my friends children are sick we always let them know before hand and if its serious keep them away from eachother. but to bring your staving child to someones house and expect them to feed that child is so rude sounds like he was eating you out of house and home maybe next time i would ask if she wanted you to put on a spread for her child x

wow how rude she sounds.
we recently had 3 weeks off of our play group because i didnt want Brody to spread the germs ( had a cold, then croup) , even though im sure he caught the cold there anyway, but unbelieveable you dont take a child to be around another while they are ill, it just not fair to.
anyway...

Dont blame you for getting annoyed! Id be so mad!! x

i can see why your cross hun!

i would be too x

Well as far as bringing sick kids over. I wouldnt have let her in.

As far as the eating goes, if the kid doesnt like crusts, I would have cut them off myself. As far as the chesse puff things go, not everyone like the same thing.
