Playgroup from H-E-double hockey sticks
There are explicatives included in this blog entry.
Dear mothers who attend Daybreak playgroup,
No, let me start again.
Dear Mother of Mattie-
Your son is the devil. I guess you think that I am going to fall for the same disillusionment that you are under if you call him some cute derivative of his actual name. If that were the case you would be calling him shitty or son of a harlot-ie. I am not falling for it. Your complete lack of ability to watch your son is astonishing. I have watched him climb atop the ballerina bars and jump off. He is four. I guess you figure when he falls and breaks his arm you can sue the community center for letting you in and for carelessly assuming you are a responsible adult.
However, next time your son walks over and even pretends to hit my son I am going to come unglued. My son, although a little high strung, is nothing compared to the raving hyena your son is. I am tired of him taking my sons toys away, coming over to hit a ball out of his hands and just plain acting rabid. I think next week I am going to sit by you and let you know that I am going to be disciplining your son each and every time he comes near mine.
Wanna see a mama bear in action? Just try me. I am not that nice and I am not loyal to those who do not raise their children. Why even have them if you were not going to be paying any attention to them at all? Did you know that the play group is not about mass ignorance of your kids? It is about watching your kids and their interactions with others. It is about sharing and learning to play and not hitting and being nice. But why am I telling you this? You are about as useful as a squashed bug.
Unglued. I am coming unglued. I will be glad when the sun comes out and I can watch kids beat my boy at the splash pool. I will be just as nice and understanding there. And if your child drowns because you cannot take the time to watch him, that is your deal, not mine.
Love,
Makayla
