My friend and I were at the park the other day letting our kids enjoy the nice weather before it turned cold again and my friend had brought some plastic toy swords with her so my sons could play with them. Her little boy is into pirates and she had recently bought him a Pirates of the Carribeane playset for his birthday. She had also brought a plastic treasure chest and the kids were pretending to look for buried treasure. The playground wasnt really crowded so the kids were having a really good time. Well about three moms showed up with their kids and for a little while werent causing any problems. Well about a hour and a half later my friends son came over to us crying and all upset because one of the moms yelled at him and took his swords away from him. My sons asked the mom if his friend could have his swords back because they didnt belong to her. She said no and thats when my friends son came over to us. Well my friend went over there and took the swords away from the mom and told her that was totally uncalled for. Our kids werent bothering them and there was no reason to yell at him and make him cry. So needless to say we were getting ready to leave when the mom came over to my friend and told her that our kids playing with a violet toy and they were acting like they were stabbing each other. She didnt allow her kids to play with these types of toys and that our kids wouldnt stop playing with the swords when she asked them. She actually said our kids tried to attack her kids and thats why she took the sword away. Well thats when I stepped in and told her what a lying you know what she was. Our kids werent even playing close to her kids and yes they were waving the swords around but they were waving them in the air and jumping up and down and yelling we found the treasure. They had buried their chest in the sand and had just dug it up when the lady said our kids attacked her kids. Zachary told me that her older kids came over and tried to take their toys and Zac sttod up for his friend and got the toys back from the older kids. So I have a feeling the lady really took the swords away from our kids to give them to hers. I asked Zac what happend in front of her and that is what he told him. So then I really gave her a piece of mind and of course she didnt have any thing to say after that. I did tell her it was one thing for a child to be a bully toward another child but when a parent acts like a bully toward another a child that is really pathetic. My friend was shocked but I think what the mom did was inexcusable. I am normally a very passive person but when a adult bullys other kids then passive goes out the window. We couldnt belive what the mom did but she was so glad I just happend to be with her that day. Now she has named me Supermom lol. But wouldnt you have done the same thing?
