I visited it after your kind comment on our site. It's been so...reaffirming! Even though our Newt's lack of speech development is undiagnosed, we've fielded inane questions and suggestions for months now. It's nice reading how you've handled things! As to the cat...you really clean up its hack immediately? Good for you! I've a nice stain that has been requiring steaming for days! We have 6 though, so I've found it easier to steam on a schedule. :) Dear Maddy,

I would have put the young lady out with the cat. BTW, I completely understand your trite statement. There are a couple of such phrases that frequently spew from my lips.

That girl was rude and disrespectful. It would not have been wrong for you to correct her from the beginning. You were being very patient, but there never is a reason to allow rudeness in children. You have taught your daughter well; her responses were beautiful. Don’t be afraid to use situations like this as teaching moments. That girl was rude and disrespectful.

Actually I feel obliged to mention that it wasn't this machine gun fire experience, it was spread out over a three hour play date, I just cherry picked to serve my own evil purposes. Cheers Ooo – who are you calling a lettuce!

My temper would get the best of me, and I think it's because she was challenging your son, over and over again. I think I'd let the parent know that she was destructive about stamping all over the pokemon stuff, though. You can do it in a nice way, but it'd be good for her parents to address it. Maddy,

It's nice to find a kindred spirit. I absolutely loved your writing! My son (The Bug) did too. He was pleased at the mention of Pokemon :) I just wanted to say the girl who went missing in Montreal has been found - I don't know if that update had been posted when you visited. We held our collective breath all morning until we heard. That could have been our child.... I'm still a bit on edge at the moment. Thanks for sharing your story. You are certainly kinder than I would have been. Blessings, Ruby in Montreal http://ruby3881.wordpress.com Maddy,

I think I would have put her in the graden and let her take her chances with the puking cat —and hoped for the cat to prevail, frankly. Your forebearance with this girl is remarkable; I imagine you must have a finely tuned internal scale with whcih you balance the pros and cons of saying or doing one thing which might trigger somethign worse for one of your boys instead of having the intended result with the little girl. Kudos to you. Holy Cow! I think I would have put her in the graden and let her take her chances with the puking cat —and hoped for the cat to prevail, frankly.
