But like you, I have been there - the parent of the kid who bit my daughter and it sucks big time. But the more I interact with other parents and their kids and see children play, I just realize that some kids will continually test limits and act out, and it's not always just because they're bad or that their parents aren't good parents. I'm reading "How to deal with your spirited child," and it's helping me see things in a whole new way. Anyway, I hope minimac has a scratch-free day tomorrow!Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345244543899178740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269990339302416599.post-47416123878821809102009-10-20T19:39:31.539-04:002009-10-20T19:39:31.539-04:00Sooner or later Bonkers is going to get bitten or ...Sooner or later Bonkers is going to get bitten or scratched by another kid-- oh wait-- then his parents will sue the parents, the school, the city council, the members of the school board, the local Jaycees, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Welcome Wagon. <br />Good luck!Leah Rubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13748324754530747231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269990339302416599.post-37495516707215518432009-10-20T19:33:53.536-04:002009-10-20T19:33:53.536-04:00oh wow, what a crazy kid~!!
