How do you deal with parents telling you that you need to learn how to parent your child?
I have lived with the problem for over 2 years in regards to my 8 year old son - Bobby. Just some of the things that have happened in the past week. One of Bobby's best friends decided that he did not want to be his friend and when Bobby has tried to talk to him, he runs away and calls Bobby a crybaby or a winer. Which in turn Bobby gets upset and then makes things worse. The other childs mother is not very much help in that she told me in front of other parents - that I need to keep Bobby away from her son on the playground. I asked her if we should take the boys aside and see what caused the rift and she said NO since this is our problem and Bobby just needs to deal with it. Also, Bobby had a school fieldtrip to the Zoo this past week. Normally, I get 2 -3 kids, along with Bobby and we have a great time, but the teacher decided to team up the parents with 7 -8 kids in each group. During the trip, the other parent felt that she could scold Bobby right in front of me, and when I pulled her aside and asked her not to do that and to come to me, she proceeded (in front of other parents loudly) to tell me that I needed to learn how to parent my son and that she felt bad for my son for having a mom like me. In a calm manner, I told her that this was nor the time or place to state that comment. She had only met me that morning. Needless to say, she ran to the teacher and told her the whole story and when I gave my account of events, the teacher said that maybe since we have 2 different parenting styles that maybe she should have just let me have Bobby and a few other kids. No sorry, for the way the lady acted. Oh, by the way, I volenteer in the class everyweek and every event and this is the first time I have every seen this parent. I am so tired of parents that think they have all the answers. Any help on how to cope would be great. Thanks. Posted on 04/25/09, 12:04 pm |

They are all right! listen in on ear and let it go to the other ear. These people doesnt know how it feels to have a child like our children. Sometimes they think they are the greatest and they dont see the smudge on their faces. What is important is " YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF". do not let others put you down. Their comments should be your " STRENGTH " .
" understanding is a wellspring of life ". Remember, Parenting is not easy and people who criticizes your parenting skills are people who doesnt know what to do with their lives. Look up and be proud, we are all one of a kind and God loves you! Do not listen to them...They just dont have anything to do with their lives but destroy other people. Smile and the world will smile with you..... Take care and God bless!!!

Kill 'em with kindness! Whenever I have anyone say anything mean to me like that I like to be as kind as I can be to them. Tell them thank you for a mean comment and smile! Drives them crazy! My 5 year old was diagnosed with Intermitten explosive disorder, ADHD (2 types), and ODD. He went to head start last year and it was suppose to be all day and he got cut to half days because of his behavior. Well let me tell you I sat in his class on more than one occassion and there was more than half the class behaved like they had ADHD. I had to stop a little boy from choking a little girl that was sitting right next to the teacher. The teacher's assistant even told me after the class that most of the class acted that way but because my boy has a diagnosis he is targeted.
