[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 260969, member: 1233"] Gee, I wonder how she GOT those kids if she is THAT uptight?? (Sorry, off to my corner. I realize that kids DO need to be protected. But I can't see that difficult child is the only person to use oui oui and p****. Goodness, what words do HER kids use to refer to their body parts???? While it isn't an appropriate topic of conversation, kids are curious and they DO talk about it. I have even heard very easy child 4yos bring this type of thing up on their own. It is sad that things have to get to this point, where a child cannot be redirected or calmly sent home for a day with-o being banished for life (so to speak). I do wonder if maybe other things have happened and this was the last straw - that she hasn't told you about things because she is just very uncomfortable. I was always stunned at the things parents were uncomfortable telling me about if my child acted out. They were often more comfortable using something trivial as a reason to keep Wiz away from their kids rather than to tell me about something else that had happened or rather than just telling him that something wasn't OK to do in their home. I can still remember one parent refusing to let Wiz play with-her child because he read Harry Potter. She used an excuse of Wiz "poking fun" at her child by laughing when her child passed gas, but later I overheard her telling another parent that Wiz was under "demonic influences" because we let him read Harry Potter. She didn't know I was at the same function when she was speaking to a mutual friend. And this was a woman who let her child watch R rated movies with her for "family time"! This is very sad, but now you truly know you cannot trust her, or her judgement. Sending gentle hugs to you and difficult child. I hope you can get some playdates set up or find a group he can interact with. I did find that many homeschooling groups were more tolerant than other groups. They might not like what we did or allowed, but they were still more accepting. You can even join a group and tell them you are researching to see if homeschooling is right for you. I joined several groups before we decided to homeschool to learn more about it. [/QUOTE]
