You don't think continuing the relationship with their family and teaching your daughter to take things with a grain of salt would have been a better solution? This is coming from a 21 y/o without kids. 8 is probably too young for life lessons like that.
I'd be beyond pissed. They should have corrected their own kids for their bad behavior after the initial incident. There wasn't any need for them to sit your daughter down to talk it out unless it was something she wanted, and then you should have been included in that conversation. Personally I'd find her some other kids to play with. The reason I say that is if my daughter had gotten her feelings hurt so bad she left her toys behind and didn't want to go get them back, then it must have been bad. Maybe even worse than she wanted to initially admit to you. To me that would be a red flag.
To be perfectly honest its rare to find 99% or greater as a qual. There are very few surveys I cant do and I have turked everyday straight for months. A few pop up here and there... But it doesn't amount to much. I am at 98.9%, been as low as 94% at one point within the last half year. Be happy it didnt bring you lower, keep pressing hard on the requester to reverse them... And go ham on safe batches (productrnr, endor voice hits, etc) in the meantime everyday you can
I do. which is why I am allowing her to play with the kids outside. I also want her to learn that just because someone has "authority" over you, such as an adult or employer (later in life) does not mean that you have to allow them to force you to do things that you are uncomfortable with. If I teach her that it is ok that the neighboring mom next door forces her to sit down and talk about things that she expresses that she doesn't want to (especially her feelings), I will be teaching her that it is also ok if the neighbor dad decides he wants to touch her inappropriately after she expresses that she does not want to because he is an adult and she has to listen to him.
I also want her to understand that if she comes and talks to me about a situation, I will do whatever needs to be done to attempt to rectify it and make sure she is not in that situation anymore. Keeps the lines of communication and trust open in case anything more serious ever does happen.
They over stepped their bounds. My children are not allowed in a neighbors house either due to a couple of issues with the lack of supervision.
Merinessa, just read that. Omg, that's freaking wrong. Her feelings and requests were completely violated! I would've made a point to let them know there would not be a time when either parent should be around my child unsupervised by myself because they obviously have no sense of boundaries. Would you do that to an adult? No? Then you sure as sh!t better not do it to a child. *back to lurking *
