I have found that the most dangerous type of parent is one who never admits their child has made a mistake, let alone deliberately done anything wrong.
If they tell you this, they are lying to you, their baby and yes, themselves.
But that’s not me.
I admit it easily when my son has been a threat to society.
I am a strong believer in accepting responsibility, apologizing to the injured party and trying not to do it again. (You know, simply avoiding a-hole behavior.)
But there was once in daily care when I was forced to go full Elle Woods on behalf of my son in response to an unfair accusation.
And by Elle Woods I want to say that I removed it in a cheating technician.
“He shattered the tail of Abby”
My son, aged about three, was in the little boy’s room at the local daily care center.
He usually played with a small cherub called Abby.
This returned to the day ago daily care applications, so it was a surprise to me when I was quietly spoken in an ‘incident’.
“He shattered Abby’s tail!” I was told by a guardian who made gestures to the little angel, sitting there with a perfectly master bob (in my opinion).
The guardian was taking it very seriously. And of course, it was serious. If I were the mother of Abby, I would have really mourned the loss of that curly mass. And being concerned about what he might have gone wrong with a sharp instrument.
So scissors’ safety and personal boundaries had to be reinforced, and I properly provided the staff that would happen.
“But whose fault was it really?”
As it got up to go home, I started thinking … But how did it make it well known to sharp scissors how to cut Abby’s thick hair?
Are you not using safety scissors with small ones?
I accidentally looked at the craft table and confirmed that they were using the kind that could barely cut paper.
Instinctively, I was impressed by my son’s versatility so I could tear a whole flock with them, but then I quickly drew my thoughts back into my constant descents.
It was impossible, I ended. He must have taken into account some adult scissors.
I unclear him I asked him, “Did he use these paper scissors? I can’t believe he managed to trim Abby’s hair! And so soon, no one noticed! Abby must have been down a lot. “
I was asking the main question and I was very passive-aggressive about it.
But when one of the center points of the center was that they have a guardian for four children, I was really curious to know how the incident had happened, which did not happen in a separate second.
“He used adult scissors”
Finally, one of the youngest guardians came and half whispered, “he used the scissors left by the printer” in the corner of the room.
I knew. Scissors to adult.
At our exit, I was detained by the director’s office to sign the incident report. I told her my adult security/scissors theory, coupled with my supervision theory (lack of supervision instant and I stated that if these factors had not been present, Abby would not have been a kilo more now easily without its laminate.
“He’s innocent, your honor,” (I said in my head).
But I raised those security concerns as a parent properly concerned, and the director had to admit that it was a “supervision” to leave the scissors from the printer, and for the guardian to lose the improper cut.
I mean, really, any older wouldn’t have made those observations – but in three?
I called Abby’s mother that night to apologize. She seemed disappointed about Abby’s hair, but agreed that she was about all happened in the first place.
When I asked my son why he was motivated to do what he did, he tightened and would not make contact with his eyes.
I wish I could tell you that he understood and took full responsibility for hacking in his friend’s hair, and I was so proud of his maturity.
But that didn’t happen.
I just glad that he did not make a crime of such opportunities again.
I rest my issue.
