[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 580465, member: 1550"] Well, you have a whole culture of small town and smallminded neighbors telling you you're wrong. You even have the mayor coming to your door!!! I mean, that is unheard of in the US and maybe in other parts of France. I can't imagine a mayor, even a bored one, bothering to care if some little boy is rude to his mother sometimes. That's why many of us feel that maybe this just isn't a good place for J to grow up and certainly it is not affirming for YOU as a single mother of a challenging but hardly horrible son. Come here and listen to us, not them. If this little boy lived in the US, he would be offered help and you would get understanding. Not from all, but certainly no mayor would EVER show up at your door...lol. Ok, I know you can't and don't even want to come here, although we'd love to have both of you, but you can take him somewhere else. Lots of children move in the middle of the year and they still learn. The situation in your village, pretty though it may be as you gaze on it, has turned very ugly and hateful and you and your little boy deserve more dignity and caring than that. It isn't the mayor's business how you parent J. and I am guessing that in most places a mayor wouldn't give a flying fleep! And your neighbors are beyond just nosy; they are vicious.
