May 21, 201313 yr I agree, but in my world, two wrongs don't make a right. Like I said, I think it's a good parenting move, but I can definitely see some negatives coming from it, deserved or not. By my count, there's only been one wrong.
May 21, 201313 yr Good parenting or bad parenting? Awesome parenting!!! I think it was a great idea and I applaud the parents for doing that. If a child who is bullying because of something like this, making fun of the clothes someone else is wearing and they just don't "get it" then making them wear clothes that they make fun of is pure genius imo.
May 21, 201313 yr I support any parent who actively attempts to stomp out bullying in their own child. You never know what will actually work until you try. 100% agree. At least this mom tried to make it right by talking to the girl and when that wasn't working she had the kahunas to do this. I say bravo. I know many parents that would defend their bullying kid and blame the school, the teacher, the girl being bullied or her parents. All kids make mistakes, but the non-active parents double the mistake by not disciplining or holding their kid responsible for their actions.
May 21, 201313 yr Bravo to this mom. Parenting means disciplining. And contrary to what a lot of people these days seem to believe. Kids crave discipline and discipline is an act of love.
May 21, 201313 yr By my count, there's only been one wrong. Bullying a bully is every bit as wrong as what the bully is doing.
May 21, 201313 yr Bullying a bully is every bit as wrong as what the bully is doing. I don't think she is bully your kid. She is disciplining.
May 21, 201313 yr Bullying a bully is every bit as wrong as what the bully is doing. Wait....I'm confused.... Are you saying the Mom bullied her daughter?
May 21, 201313 yr Wait....I'm confused.... Are you saying the Mom bullied her daughter? That is the way I took it.
May 21, 201313 yr When Kaylee got home, Ally sat her down to talk to her. But Kaylee didn’t feel the least bit sorry. This is the part that I think is concerning. Wearing hand me down clothes might make her stop bullying about the clothes, but I would not be surprised if she finds other things to continue to bully kids about.
May 21, 201313 yr Wait....I'm confused.... Are you saying the Mom bullied her daughter? No, I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying she's putting her in a position to get bullied by other kids. I can almost guarantee she's not the only student that was bullying others for their clothes. Now she's more likely to get the same treatment from others. Is it deserved? Maybe so, but that doesn't make it right. That's all I'm saying.
May 21, 201313 yr Wait....I'm confused.... Are you saying the Mom bullied her daughter? That is the way I took it. Then I guess I'm a big bully to my kids. Couldn't be more wrong, but that's okay.
May 21, 201313 yr Couldn't be more wrong, but that's okay. No problem just took it the wrong way. yes she could be bullied as well for wearing the clothes but that might make her see how it felt when she did that to the other girl. It might make her stop doing it.
May 21, 201313 yr Couldn't be more wrong, but that's okay. I stand corrected. Sorry UK. I see where you were going with that now. Typed it before I saw your answer. I have to ponder that one over!!!
