now my wife is feeling really bad over the thing, and is contemplating sending an email basically saying "ok, sorry about that, but you have to understand that your kid is a problem, you will be starting a new school in the fall, maybe you want to spend the summer working on your kids social skills and getting her ready for the new school".
my wife posted this on UB, and she was torn apart - the UB mom's think that she is a reincarnation of hitler, basically.
what do you think?
On the other hand, if my son is not 'fitting in', then I want to know what needs to change so that my son does not become/remain an outcast. That, though, requires a degree of self-awareness that the problem parents don't seem to have...and I'm not sure that one person speaking up will make a difference. A chorus of voices might, maybe...but that's a very hard call to make, especially when you consider that you're asking three people to adjust some fundamental behaviors.
No really a parenting q, rather which would a better place to raise my kid.
I love in a row housing type of setup in Delhi, India, something like a townhouse. Lots of problems such as it is a densely populated area with lots of traffic. Our plot size is 300 sqyrds/250 sq mtrs and because the the prices in Delhi are now so high that out of the 16 houses in our row, 14 have been converted into floors meaning that 4 separate dwelling units exist on each 300 sq yds plot stretching the existing infrastructure.
Me, my wife and my mother are all tired of the traffic, lack of water supply (it comes for around 3 hours a day) at our current place so we all want to move to my 'farmhouse' which is basically a 5000 mtrs lot in a posh area. Zero traffic and free flowing water from own borewell. Much better lifestyle.
But, my 5 yr old son would be all alone. There would be no local park or sports complex. Basically to go anywhere he would require a dedicated car and driver. But even nowadays he hardly has time to go out since he gets back from school at 5 and has to leave at 6.50 in the morning. So, evenings are very rushed for him in order to get him to sleep at 8-8.15.
Too much rambling, it is already in TL DNR territory.
Any thoughts ....
I grew up an hour away from school, and obviously I don't see my friends at all as a kid... even in high school I had to take a bus and other modes of transport just to hang out. I did have family members to play with once in a while, and also my toys and books.... .. your kid will be fine.
as long as the ignorant arent breeding....
