As you know, Heather, I teach Sunday School... my group are 3rd through 5th grade.

What I might have said to that stupid cow would have been that Sunday School isn't about being entertained. It's about learning. Additionally, I would have asked her if her kindergarten-aged child was attending the first grade in her regular school, if not, she stays in her age appropriate group.

As for her insulting your child, you did well not to give her a good slapping.... which she sort of deserved.

How sad that she felt she had to build up her child by tearing down yours. I'm so sorry that happened to you.

Please include me if you do take your blog private. I so enjoy reading your posts!

How could she?!!! It irks me to no end when people pull stuff like this. Mom's need to just pull together and support each other. This job is tough enough without cruel words to top it off. Aargh!

I am a midwest mom of four, who is a long-time lurker and very rare commenter. I also read a lot of the blogs you read (I see your comments in their comment sections, which is probably how I started reading yours). I'd like to be able to keep coming if possible. Let me know if you need more info.

My right eyebrow is raised. But no words can seem to come out of my mouth right now. What the?! And she was in church. Tsk.

2009-11-02T22:26:51.876-06:00

I fail to understand how anyone calls this state "nice", because I see stuff like this happen far too often. I'm sorry it happened to you, and in church of all places. The last place people should resort to such behavior.

I likely would have been lucky to say what you did, but I would have liked to say a lot more.

2009-11-02T22:16:33.969-06:00

I think you got the jist of it -- she wanted to cut someone else down to make her daughter look better. Probably because you were standing there, she just used K as an easy target. Such a shame. I'm so sorry that happened.

I hope I'll be one of the lucky hundred. :)

2009-11-02T20:49:46.967-06:00

It's the competimommies that make this all so much more difficult.

Hey-- if you go private? Hook me up?

2009-11-02T19:57:07.361-06:00

Ooo, stuff like that just makes my blood boil! You know you shouldn't let it bother you, but it's so hard to do. Still, try not to dwell on it too much - she is obviously a very self absorbed and insensitive person who isn't worth your time.

2009-11-02T19:08:05.892-06:00

You go girl! Way to smack that beyotch down. People like that have a seriously misguided view of their importance in the universe. The only way to keep the down is to do exactly what you did. Good job.

2009-11-02T14:09:42.481-06:00

What a very unchristian thing to say to a person. There is a massively huge difference between an almost five year old and a almost six year old, I don't care how bright your kid is. It sounds like B needs a bit of softening done to her heart and a little bit of humbleness in her life.

2009-11-02T11:57:24.143-06:00

People are mean and stupid....ignore her, she obviously has problems of her own.

I so want to follow your blog if you decide to go private!!! I was so mad I forgot!

2009-11-02T11:34:08.026-06:00

ugh people like that make me so mad. She obviously has a HUGE inferiority complex and the only way she knows how to boost herself (and her kids) it to rip other people down.

Biatch ... seriously.

The woman has issues.

No way - no blog!! JDH

2009-11-02T09:41:54.955-06:00

I am so sorry. What an awful, awful thing to say. Good for you for responding because I would have stared at her with my mouth open, unable to speak, then been really mad at myself later.

Pls count me in if you go private!

2009-11-02T09:01:02.000-06:00

What that woman said was not the christianly thing to say. In my opinion I think K-man is a very creative, outgoing, and smart kid. Don't let it get to you Heather!

2009-11-02T08:58:06.859-06:00

I feel speechless after reading this. I can't even fathom the heart of a person who would say such a thing, and can't imagine if her personality is like this, especially in a church, what she's like day to day. I completely understand your response.

(if you go private, I'd be like to still stick around!)

2009-11-02T08:37:54.375-06:00

How rude & unnecessary! Why are there people like this?She is teaching her kids good lessons concerning relationships (?) -- she's not worthy of even being in church or ele where_!

2009-11-02T07:40:48.617-06:00

I'm sorry, but seriously, what a bitch. Does she feel so incompetent as a parent that she feels the need to tear down someone else's child?? And in church for crying out loud! If she's being that defensive, shes probably trying to over compensate for the fact, that deep down she knew the teacher was right. If anything, this lady sounds pretty damn immature for being so out of line. I HIGHLY doubt the apple fell that far from the tree...

There's no excuse for speaking so poorly about anyone's child. I'm sorry you had to deal with this, ::hugs:: ♥♥♥
If you do in fact put your blog on private, I'd love to still follow!♥
