Default to all responders

I am so sorry to hear these other horror stories, but I find comfort in knowing my kids are not singled out for being raised "respectful" and "polite".
My childrens true friends love being at my house. They say I am the nicest mom and love being around me. That is because I love my kids and love to make their friends feel welcome in my home, as long as they respect my home and my rules.
I work from my home to be here for my kids, they are at a very influential time in their life. I worked for a major retailer for 11 years, and after being in management in thier home office and working 50 hours a week, I had enough.
Back to my kids....
My son was being called gay on the bus as well, and was told he wore thongs! My daughter was called a spoiled brat. My daughter went to a friends the other day, and the girls dad looked at my daughter and said.."what are you doing here? you don't *!@#$@! live here". She came home crying and I will not let her go back over there. The mother has not even said one word to me about it.
I told my kids to ignore those kids who are taunting them on the bus, they are jealous and I didn't want my kids to try to be friends with kids that acted like that. Yes, my kids do have things, and they participate in sports, dance, etc. But they also know how lucky they are to have what they have and will be the first to admit it to others. They do not take what they have for granted, nor do they get everything they want either. They are not "showy" with what they have either.

No! the next day the bus driver insisted the child be taken off the bus because he through a glass object at a girl.
That is absolutely crazy to not just happen on the bus, but anywhere. I really find it hard to comprehend that kids actually have these thoughts!!!

This lady is trying to give her kids the most important thing a parent can give, that is time. We live on LI and it is eating us up, put I still refuse to work outside the home. I provide a service to people that have to work outside the home child care, and you don't know how many times I hear oh I am so glad that you are around to provide a safe environment for my children. while they drive off in there Escalades....

sorry to hear about this stuff... i was never really bullied in school, but certainly feel sorry for those who get bullied. it is the parents fault for some of this cruel behavior. no excuse. schools are afraid to do anything. afraid of the parents reaction/backlash

We've moved twice this year and I gave my kids (5, 3, 2, 5mos) plenty of warning. We talked about it alot. I made sure to be positive & act excited even if I wasn't! I also make sure I do lots of research on activities so I can get them started right away. And I continue whatever routines that we already had, like morning & bedtimes. I made sure I unpacked them right after the kitchen, too. It took two months of adjusting and then they were fine. I think making t hat first friend in the new place is a lifesaver!
