I hate people...

I spent the last hour writing this all up in a couple posts on my blog, so lazily I'm going to link ya'll to it... But my god, what a horrible day. So many nasty, cruel, intolerant people. Sometimes I want to take my son and hide in a hole with him. Anyone else have these kind of moments?

Re: I hate people...

Sorry I dd'nt understand to hit the link. I'm a little computer illiterate still. I think you were more than tolerant and loving to that boy and his mother, much more tolerant than anyone else would have been. You have a heart for even other kid's disabilities, but you're right to keep Jaymes away from him for his sake. I know it hurt your heart to hear Jaymes being talked to so. If I were there I would have wanted to haul Jaymes away myself. The pacifier thing in your last post made me laugh, it reminded me of a episode of Rugrats I once saw where they swapped Pacifiers with each other. And, the stepford moms will always be the "Stepford Moms" --the ones who keep the world perfect for their kids with perfect nap schedules. But, we have to remember than they have not walked in our shoes and we could be them and they could be us. None of us have walked in each other's shoes, had each other's backgrounds or each other's plights in life. One thing I've noticed in life is that God will teach the lessons people need to learn, although at times it seems he does'nt. Each person has their time in life for tragedy of some kind and they never know when that particular tragedy will come. I once had a friend who had a very charmed life and was very spoilt, and suddenly her husband got a brain tumor. Life does have it's twists and turns. We would love to get together with you sometime. Does James like to jump on trampolines or swim? We have both a kiddie pool and trampoline at my house. Thought you were leaving for your trip???

Re: I hate people...

I agree...I think you were more tolerant than most. I would have had to tell the boy he wasnt being very nice....because apparently, like you said, he doesnt know that its not nice to call people names. But that is just me....
We have all been there with the Mall thing....and I have to admit some days are better than others....and I can remember one time my son throwing a fit...and my 10 year old daughter, asking me mom, why do people have to be so Mean? Meaning...the Condeming looks and Stares. Luckily for me, God has made me pretty tough....and I can for the most part not pay attention to them and chalk it up to ignorance....and at some point you just get tired of explaingin your childs behavior...and get to the point of he doesnt really owe you an explanation....I do try to be considerate of Others, and intervine when neccessary....but a wise person once told me...As important as it is for our children to learn how to function in Society...It maybe more important for Society to learn to Function with our children too.
Hang in there Hun....There will be good days and bad days....and people are always going to be people.

Oh, that child knows that he's being mean.. He is purposely cruel.. But I dunno, I guess his bi-polar or whatever is to blame. He can be sweet too.

Striving, yes, we're on vacation, I have internet access and my laptop. We'll be back Tuesday( :

Re: I hate people...

For the adults I say get those cards that explain what is going on....like "what you are witnessing is a child with Autism....." I carry packs of them with me. Whenever I get judgemental looks I go up and apologize, hand them a card and suddenly they look embarrassed that they were taking their judgements out on a child that can't help himself. It seems to work everytime!

I, too, can't stand the Stepford "moms"!!! They congregate at a McDonalds' in-door playground where I live.  A place that my daughter loves to go.  So, like you, I show up in my jean shrts and T-shirt and they look at me like I am a homeless person.  However, like some, I can be a bitch on the net AND in person!  LOL!  Hang in there and don't let them get ya down!!!

I don't get how those types of moms do it. It's all I can do to get shorts and a t-shirt on and brush my hair.. LOL. My kids always look clean and cute though.

Re: I hate people...

I'm sorry you and Jaymes had to have this experience this week.  It does really suck and I have never realized how intolerate mothers of all people can be until I had Hannah. 

I'm not much on advise this week.  Hannah and I tried VBS this week.  It went great until Wednesday.  She was in rec and having a great time playing a game.  When the game ended a little boy got in her face and said...."YOU'RE WIERD!  YOU'RE THE WIERDEST KID I'VE EVER SEEN!"  She didn't do anything odd, I thought.  She just laughed because she was enjoying the game.  Anyway, I dont' think she understood what he said but his demeanor threatened her and that was all she wrote.  We had to leave.  We didn't go yesterday.  I thought I'd give her a break and she would forget.  Well, last night was family night and I was trying to show my husband the rec room and Hannah freaked.  So, no, she didn't forget and we didn't go today either.  I did tell the little boy that he wasn't being nice and I did let people in charge know it happened.  Sigh!  Anyway, I'm new here and if I wasn't supposed to share that on your thread please just tell me.  I won't be offended.

Marcey, I am sorry that happened. I think I would have got right in his face and said "Well I think you are rude, the rudest kid I have ever seen!" I know that is probably not the grown up thing to do but I bet he would think twice next time, lol.

Re: I hate people...

Hi!  I can't stand when people are awful!  We really don't take our son out to many local places anymore because kids are often just mean and then their parents support them by refusing to try to bridge the gap between our son and their children!  I have asked many times for help from other parents to explain our son's "weird" behavior to their children and have not had a lot of luck.  Usually they deny that there's any problem ("oh, they're just playing") and/or they avoid us in the future.  My husband and I have slowly realized that these "social interactions" we're actually hurting our son much more than the relatively isolated, careful social approach we take now.  Also, I've been glad to scare the pants off some nasty bullying brats who were taunting Benjamin on a few different occasions.  Just looking the kids in the eyes and telling them to back off in a strong, stern voice really shook them up and they deserved it!
