I was at the playground the other day and 13mo db was up on the little structure and was ready to go down the slide, I could reach his legs and arms but not when he stands up, anyway this little 23mo boy turns around, scratches db's face twice and then his his head, I was saying no don't do that, mom was nowhere in sight, db started crying because his scratches on his nose and lip where bleeding, and ppl gather around. His mom shows up after a bit and says I knew it had to be mine. Wtf!!If you know you have a monster watch him closely, imo. vent over [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

op, ita plus the mom knows he does this because she knew it was her dc that did this before anyone said anything even though she wasn't looking, she said he does it all the time! [ Reply | More

omg you sound like you have a kid like this. Yes she should have said she's sorry that her son did this to this little boy. You ppl think it's ok for kids to hurt each other? Crazy..will it happen? yes but doesn't make it ok because of their age. They learn behavior and if you allow your dc to hit, scratch and bite that's exactly what they will do. I don't understand some of you out there. You must be the type to say boys will be boys. When do you stop making excuses for them? [ Reply | More

Terrible situation. I have 2 DCs--one 30 months and one 11 months. Sometimes the 30 mo gets a little away from me--it happens. If I knew he was prone to this sort of thing, I'd try to keep a closer eye on him--or not go to the playground--but it happens. And, btw, a 23 mo who scratches is not a monster. [ Reply | More

Still. There but for the grace of God. One day your DB will do something just as terrible and the "victim's" mother will post about you here. [ Reply | More

Print this out and put it somewhere you can find it when you take your eyes off your 23 mo for a second and he bites, pushes, or trips another child. He will. [ Reply | More

I had that "other" child for a while. My DS was just a big boy who couldn't control his impulses and I was always the mom saying I am so sorry. I know you're upset for your DC, but if she's like I was, it's mortifying for her. Mine grew out of it, but it was tough. [ Reply | More

NP: I knew this mom who KNEW her son bit without provocation. She didn't follow him around, and when he bit, didn't even go over to admonish him, check the victim, or anything. She just sat there while the victim's caregiver looked for her. Needless to say, I gave this mom and her son WIDE berth. [ Reply | More
