Oh man I am SO PISSED right now. My husband told me this evening that one of his supposed good friends got mad at DH for correcting him on something and went to another friend's house to whine to him and play the victim. He said "Well at least I'm not stupid like (our son)" WHAT???? First of all, who calls a 3 year old stupid?? And second, my son has nothing wrong with him. He was in speech and occupational therapy for 10 months but OT was for his grasp not anything else - not that it even matters!!
What is the appropriate thing to do in this situation? I have no contact with this person except for facebook, which my husband is no longer on. He no longer is hanging out with this guy, obviously. I don't think that "friend" knows that DH knows he said that.
Someone tell me that it would be childish to update my status as "What PATHETIC asshole calls a 3 year old stupid??"
**UPDATE** No, I didn't really put that as my status. I have a feeling he is going to come around again because he is a loser like that (as if you couldn't tell from saying something like that!), I just hope *I* don't ever see him again. My son is not stupid!! :(
Yes it would be childish to post a status like that. If you did that, you are no better than him. If you have no way to contact him and your husband isnt in contact with him, then i think you should just let it go. Hes not around you and his opinions dont really matter
His REAL friend told him that crappy friend came over and was saying all of this stuff. I think I will just put "It's sad how low some people will stoop to play the victim. How pathetic." That way there are no specifics, so he can't say I was talking about him and only he will know. Tee hee. Ok I feel a little better now. Not much. How sad and miserable do you have to be to put down a 3 year old? Way to make yourself look cool!
I think you did just about all you can do. The audacity of some people...I'm sorry you live through that :/.
I'm sorry that happened. What a horribly insecure person to have to pick on a child. If your hubby isn't really friends with him anymore, I would just leave it alone and know that this person is not someone who should be in your life. IF your DH wanted to be friends with him again, something would need to be said. To play devil's advocate, you weren't there and you don't necessarily know the exact words that were said and context. Not making excuses, I'm just saying that the guy should at least have the opportunity to defend himself to your hubby if your hubby wants to give it to him.
It sounds like this guy isn't much of a friend so write him off and let it go for now. Good luck.
Am I overreacting?
