For the summer, we decided to let the kids have a little pool party. A nice way to reconnect with school friends and relax. Nothing fancy just the all American BBQ and a swim.
The kids were asked to pick a few friends each. Baby's list was done in 3 minutes, Firstborn took 3 days with drama and texts flying all around Dallas, possible causing Tropical Storm Alex, but we finally got the list together.
Baby takes one invite into camp for a boy he knows from school. Baby hands this snotty little devils spawn the invite and told him "I am having a pool party". The 2 horned wonder opens the invite, with not one thank you of course, and throws it down on the table.
Baby asks the all red one if he can see the invite to which this kid roars (with green pea soup spewing from his mouth) "Take it. I don't like you, don't want to be your friend or come to your stupid party!" WTF!! What sort of parenting is a child getting when he just hurts another child's feeling so bad without a single afterthought?
Obviously my first concern was for baby. I asked him how he felt and explained that if this boy could treat him like this he was not a friend or someone he should want to spend time with (tho I am yearning to get him in a dark alley. Is that wrong?) Baby replies " oh, that's OK mum, I gave his invite to a much nicer kid" Thank God for the resilience of children.
Meanwhile, mum, is still struggling with the question Why is it not legal to interrogate a child and stone his parents if you suspect he is Beelzebub and they are his creators?
