well my daughter started kindergarten this week and she has been so excited because parents can come and have lunch with them in the cafeteria....so today i went.... i dont ever want to go back..... and im kinda devastated... here is what happened....................
i get to Chloe's class and she is so excited that i am there so we go to the cafeteria and get our food and sit down and she tells me she wants to go sit with her friends.... so we move down to where her friends are.... she is sitting next to this little boy and they start whispering back and forth and C gets kinda upset... i ask her what is wrong and apparently this little boy called me "FAT"..... when i was in school we NEVER picked on other kids' parents....
so i tell the little boy" that isnt very nice.. you shouldnt say things like that" so he laughs at me and i guess starts calling me names..... well this isnt over!!!! i had wanted to ask him where his mother was and then say"oh that's right she doesnt come to school to see you because you have a bad attitude" but i wasnt going to emotionally scar a bratty 5 yr old kid because im sitting there completely devastated that all my 5 years worth of hard work i have put into my daughter to make her the kind, sweet, respectful child she has become is going to go down the drain because she is interacting with children like this.... so i am going to get the name of this student after school today and request that she not sit next to him in the class or at lunch.....
also i know this part is pure vanity but i dont want my daughter's opinion of me to go down by all the horrible rotten little kids and their mean little words... for as long as possible i want my daughter to be proud that her mom wants to be involved in her life.....
maybe i am over reacting ..... little creeps........

This is part of why I try to teach Mo that leading is better than following. She knows good behavior so maybe she should be a leader in the right direction instead of a follower in the wrong. She's starting school next Monday and I'm already praying I have the wisdom to handle the stories she brings home.
i understand why you would be upset ,if you have never come across this before. but that's reality and she will see it sooner or later. not all kinds have good manners ,or know how to behave. i think she will probably hear much worse things eventually. i would not make a big deal out of it .that could make this in to a worse situation. you say you have spent allot of time teaching her to be sweet and respectful, then i bet she also knows right from wrong and will not follow in other kids footsteps
It's not just public school kids. My kids go to a Catholic school and it is the same way. It was like that when I was in school, too. Kids are cruel. I was teased mercilessly by the kids at my Catholic school and then they would turn around and go to confession like nothing happened.
I just hope I taught my kids better and not to tease people or say mean things.
I have 2 girls. I am an overweight mom. I have been overweight the entire time they have been in school. When my oldest was in 1st grade I decided to volunteer in her classroom. She had school mates like that, and we went thru the same thing. I just sat her down and talked to her about it. I told her (and her sister when the time came) not to ever be ashamed that I am fat, I'm not ashamed, I love me just the way I am and so should they.
Unfortunatly there probably won't be much you or the school can do about what comes out of the other kids mouths. But you can prepare your child to deal with it.
My girls, who are now 14 and 16, one in Junior High, the other in High School, both absolutly love when I come to their schools to have lunch or whatever.
Now when I go to either of their schools they are happy to see me and want me to meet all their friends. If someone happens to make a rude comment they'll get in their face over it and tell them right where to stick those words.
Was it right or ok for the boy to say that....absolutely NOT....but its more important how your child deals with it.
Kids are sooooo cruel. You are NOT fat and you should have shoved a twinkie in that kids mouth to shut him up! Darn little brat!
That child is gonna be one dysfunctional a-hole when he is older b/c it sounds like his parents didn't teach him any respect for elders or other classmates.
I hope I don't encounter a child like that b/c I may have to shove a twinkie in my mouth!!!! 
Well, I wouldn't of hesitated to scar that child for a brief moment! Tactfully! Sometimes you have to be the "Malcolm in the Middle" mom. All it reflects is how he is being raised by his own parents, and you know that kind of treatment to anyone much less an adult is not acceptable. Hey, I've had a little kid tell me he didn't have to listen to me because I wasn't his mom, I told him that it's a good thing I wasn't his mom becasue I would bust his butt and ground him for life! You keep acting the way you do and you won't have any friends...I think he avoided me for the year. Dont' worry chicky, all you can do is make your children better people by showing them how not to act.
I've had similar incidences. My daughter has had things said to her about our financial situation, about her looks, and about mine. One kid even said something about the way my daughter smelled (at the time she was having tests for kidney/urinary tract problems, she was only 6). All of this happened OUTSIDE of school. My daughter has been homeschooled her entire life.
Kids mimic their parents... imagine what kind of mom that kid has. C will learn whatever values you have. Teach her to politely defend her mom, but at the same time... everyone deserves love & kindness... even the bad kids.
My mom (bless her soul) always said "kill them with kindness'.
I am so sorry that happened! Kids are nasty! Not all - thank God - but many are! And I agree with the other moms, just prepare your daughter to hear things she may not like. I know my kids do. I ahve always been somewhat embarrassed to go to my kids school for just that reason -I am overweight and I dont want to embarass them. I know what I heard as a kid, I dont want mine picked on because of me! However, my kids always tell me they think I am beautiful, and that they dont care what others say! I guess I did ok with them so far!
Children going to be children, you might as well take you child out of public school if you don't want her around children who don't act like her. You can't be around her all the time.

Kids are nasty little you-know-whats. I wish we could shelter our precious little people forever from this kind of nastiness. We can't. I have a daughter about to start her senior year of high school and I tell you, it gets worse before it gets better. As nasty as that boy was, some of your daughter's future female friends will be worse. They'll devastate her one day and be her best friend again the next and all you can do in between is love her. Good luck!
