My, he is busy- oh my, they are spirited aren’t they… this seems to be the mommy polite version of… my kids don’t behave like that or holy moly; how do you survive…
The ladies
who do this think the moms on the receiving end don’t get the hint of sarcasm
that our children must just be naughty or ill disciplined, that their children
are precious angels who can do no wrong- I have watched these sweet innocents
on the playground and they are not always what they seem to be- I have seen them trip kids, tease kids and
bully kids… as soon as the child complains they are pictures of innocence and
have done nothing wrong …. The other child must have done something to provoke
them etc
That aside
every now and then you find a mom to connect with, a mom who looks just as
tired and highly strung as you do, one who turns to look at you with a shrug
and a smile when their child is pushed because they know they are just kids
being kids and 2 seconds later the roles are reversed her child pushes mine and
then they are best friends for the remainder of their play…..
