So mad!!!!

[i_forget]

I was out with my kids today. We were waiting in a line to ride a train, and I was dealing with my 2 oldest to get them moving forward so I could get my 5 YO up to move forward. He was sitting on the ground, playing. As I turn to get him up I look down at him and notice that the lady that is in line behind us is kicking my son in the leg with her foot.

I SNAPPED.

I started yelling at that women, telling her to stop kicking my kid before I came over there and kicked her.

She then had the nerve to try to justify kicking my son by saying she was trying to get him to move.

First, who is anyone to touch a complete strangers child....second, it is my job as his mother to deal with him, not hers, so unless I am walking away and leaving him there on his own, she has no right to do anything to my kid and if she wants him to move she can either wait a second for me to deal with it or ask me to deal with it.

WHO IN THE f&&& DOES SHE THINK SHE IS??????

She is so lucky I am not a violent person. She is even luckier that someone stepped in between me and her because if they had not and she would have kept talking I just may have.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE????

That's disgusting. Why do adults think kicking a child is ok in any circumstance. Did she not have a mouth to speak with?

[DianneS]

That is unbelievable. Glad you were in control enough not go to over and actually kick her back! I agree....what is wrong with some people?

[cath007]

Unacceptable...so sorry that happen...you did the good thing.

[ssbean]

How awful for your DS. I am so sorry that happened to you.

[angel_2011]

Horrible. The nerve of that woman. I'm glad you yelled at her - i hope she was embarrassed by her actions.

[ArmyWifeEdmonton]

Sheeesh! I hate when adults treat other people's kids disrespectfully. Not acceptable by any standard and I would have done the same thing!

[SharonMe]

It would have been perfect if your son got up and kicked her right in the shin.
You want him to move, you got it.
People are way too impatient.

Good god, I'd be afraid even bending down and saying "Hon, I think your mom is trying to get your brothers/sisters up in line for the train. You should move up closer to her, you don't want to get separated!", because I don't want to cross a line.

If somebody was KICKING my kid, I would absolutely LOSE IT. Good for you for not actually kicking her back.

[mama_to_one_in_a_half]

The woman sounds nuts, good you kept you composure i would have probably lost it. People think they could do whatever they want.

[Natalka]

Oy, what a nutbar!

[i_forget]

Thanks all. People like that make it really hard to set a good example.

[krysta lynne]

I hate it when people touch my kids. i don't know how i would have reacted to that one. i think you were pretty polite in comparison.

[BuggaBugga]

You should have kicked her where the sun don't shine.

[jessep13]
