My Day Joy and Anger

I had to take Meg to the dentist to get her spacer put back on. It only took 5 min at the most. That was the joyous part.

later after the girls i watch left, my kids went out to play.

They came in (right before they were going to have to come in) and i said outside girls. and they didn't push it. I didn't think there was anything wrong.

BOY WAS I WRONG.

The little girl up the street, is screaming on the phone to her mom pick me up now, i mean like a fit of hysterics. Sean and i look at each other like what the heck just happened.

Her mom pulls up........she runs to the car, it was locked, she was BANGING on the door to get it. Got in and hid under the dashboard on the floor in the front.

What would bring a child to hysterics you ask?

The first grader who's questionable in the neighborhood, told her that Jason was in the pits (we live near power lines) and killed people and chasing with axes.

WELL..........i went off (first) i was like WHO ON EARTH WOULD TELL THEIR CHILD SUCH A HORRIBLE THING???? The girls were like "Carly did mom" I was like that is SO NOT RIGHT.

Sean's turn.

He's like LOOK, if you want to hang out with my children you WILL NOT say stuff like that around her. WE explained it was a lie, and that it was a movie, (that we found out this child watched at 5 years old). And her uncle tells her Jason lives in the pits. SERIOUSLY.

I posted about this several months ago. It ENRAGES ME when parents LIE to their children about such FOOLISHNESS. It took me a good HOUR to calm down i was so mad.

WHY do parents do that, and if you are one of them please reconsider. I can explain or show you how scared this child was leaving my house. She was in hysterics and i felt so bad. I later called the parents and THANKFULLY she'd calmed down. But will be in her parents bed for some time and just might not come out of the house to play b/c she has to drive by the pits to go anywhere.
