It happened during lunch at school today, so the teacher didn't witness it. My DD told the teacher after lunch, and DD told me about it when I asked how her day was. I am so ready for this school year to be over.
I want to hold my daughter and keep her in a bubble. She's just entering preschool and I'm scared. It would be hard for me to not turn into a mother bear and want to hunt that little jerk down and yell at them. I think I need to work on controlling my anger when it comes to being protective over my kids.
my mom told me the hardest part of being a parent to young children was watching them learn (in some cases over and over) that some people are unkind. i can see that for sure. hard because you want to protect their innocence forever, and hard because you want to hulk out and do serious physical damage to anyone who ever hurts them.
i mean, there's a 3 year old out there who is GODDAMNED LUCKY he moved out of state. since i had it out for him ever since i saw him purposefully smash a plastic dinosaur onto the top of my kid's head.

That 3-year-old doesn't know what he escaped! The Wrath of Mom is definitely something to run from.
I'm definitely going to end up getting arrested. How do you deal with this? I want to put my almost 3 year old in a bubble.
I'm going to email the teacher tonight when I'm not quite as ragey as I am right now. And then I'm going to cross my fingers and hope she's not in this boy's class next year.
This happened with my then 4 yo DD, we told the teacher and she let the girl's mother know. The mom was mortified and made her daughter apologize to mine. The girls are in K now and get along just fine now. I felt so bad for DD at the time because it was our first or second week at that center.
Has he been bugging her all year? What has the teacher's reaction been? Do his parents know about the behavior?
This is the first time he's picked on her. In the past, from what my DD has told me all year long, he mostly picked on the other boys. The teacher is well aware of this kid's behavior, and I've even seen the kid's desk moved up next to the teacher's desk in the classroom at one point earlier this year. As for the parents, I don't know them (or their parenting habits) at all.
Today, specifically, I don't know the details of what happened after my DD told the teacher what happened. I haven't talked to the teacher about it yet, but I am going to email her as soon as I can get my kids into bed.
