I've decided to post a vent posting, because I couldn't do it on Facebook because the person I'm mad at is one of my "friends".
Jacob was doing his homework yesterday in the living room (it has the best light) and he saw 3 of his friends ride by on scooters. He asked me if he could go with them and I said sure (he asked so cute). He ran after his friends and when he got to their house, his Mom said he had too many friends over and Jacob had to go home, the boys were playing in their unfinished backyard. Jacob came home just crushed and sad. I tried to cheer him up but he wouldn't have it. He then decided to go upstairs and play by himself in his room. I decided he could finish the homework later. I went back to the living room to help Amara finish her homework and not even 15 minutes later I saw all 3 boys ride away on their scooters.
So as a Mother how could you be so mean, so cruel to such a sweet boy as Jacob. I could understand sending away a bully, but Jacob is definetly not. I just don't understand how you could crush a child like that. I would never turn away a child who came to my door because one of my kids already had a friend over. Really what is one more kid? It would have made their number even.
Anyway, call me a mother bear but I was so mad and hurt. I hope this post helps me get my feelings under control since I have to see her at curch every week.

The woman probably just said what she was feeling (that there were already too many kids at her house for her to handle) without thinking of how it might make Jacob feel. It was insensitive, but it might not have been on purpose. I hope the little guy feels better soon.

The mother probably wasn't thinking about Jacob's feelings. She was probably just feeling like there were too many kids at her house. But, I'm with you Jill, I wouldn't send the kid away if they came to play. Give Jacob a big hug for me!
