HELP I’M SO Mad I Could Scream | ADHD Information
I know I should really post this at the parents board but I feel comfortable with you wonderful people at this board!
I need advice. I mentioned before that my son goes to a spec. ed school for kids with add etc...
There is a boy in his carpool that unfortunately EVERY boy
teases. I didn't know that my son was involved until weeks after
the boy's mother took it upon herself to just gossip about my
son. I told the mother that if she just came to ME instead of
others, we could resolve the problem instantly. She has now made
it her personal mission to attack my son and me to me by e-mail and to
another parent.
My son stopped the teasing. BUT this woman will not accept that
others were teasing her son. She has made it her personal mission
along with another mother to gossip about my son whenever they find out
that he misbehaved.
I have told both of them to stop... it's just is really pissing me off!
Thanks for letting me vent!!!

I forgot to mention that the other mother duct taped a letter to
my front door this morning to tell me about what me son did on Tuesday
while walking to her car for carpool. It was bad but she
just kept on and on and even added 'by the way your son did this
another time etc"
Sigh.....It's not easy being the mom of an adhd boy with impulsivity
issues but these other kids have issues too or they wouldn't be going
the the school.

I agree with Zorg, keep away from both of them. As a parent of three kids, I would hope I could be able to talk with another parent regarding an issue like this. But the fact is, cheekydeeky is right, some people are not mature enough to understand. Duck taping the letter to you door instead of speaking to you as an adult, it reminds me of something we would have done in middle school.
This conflict has gotten so out of hand that it's not about the kids anymore, it's about the mothers. The fact is, some people never really grew up. They never matured emotionally past the level of a child or a teenager. So when it comes to their child, they're on the same playing field and it's difficult to reason with them or get them to understand the bigger picture.
This woman is in posession of issues all her own. I think you should
distance yourself (and your child) as far as you can get from her and
her family.
Wish I could give you more.

Unfortunately I have to work and his school is 45 minutes from me. So he's stuck in the duct tape lady's car for now
Yeah they are acting with a middle school mentality.

Be the bigger person here. Teach your son not to bully,, thats all you can do. You can't teach the other parent to be an adult. You can model good behavior, and not bow down to her level and return the gossip. Keep you head high, and let her know you have talked to your son about the bullying, and that you are sorry it happened. Leave the other kids/parents/ and her out of it from then on. Let HER be angry,,, don't let her get to you.
Easier said than done though, I know.
