Oh friends I have a problem I need help with. Completely OT from DAP but here goes. I have a psycho mom at school. She is in your face crazy and I am at my wits end. I dont mean ha ha she is crazy. I mean truely psycho crazy. Do I tell her she needs help/meds something or do I ignore her and hope she just goes away or gets the message. I find my self praying every day she is not there when I drop my son off. I hate confrontation but she is making my life crazy with her constant drama. Last week she faked a stroke and yelled at me and my husband at soccer for not helping her. My husband made me go to the principal and make sure she is never allowed to pick up our son up. I have never delt with a psychotic person that was not hospitalized. Yikes!! What would you do??

I would tread very lightly and not show fear...and I'm not making light of your situation saying this. I've had some interesting situations with unbalanced individuals - a couple of times at work and once a random situation with a person in a public place I'd never set eyes on prior who fixated on me. I spoke very calmly each time and once I resorted to speaking in a kind of sing-songy voice because the slow, calm voice didn't seem to help. I remembered, even though inside I was very alarmed, that a different part of your brain registers singing than does talking and it is calming. It worked, although it might have gone either way. Good Luck with this...doesn't it always seem that when you are trying to avoid someone the opposite happens?

I know Todd that has me concerned esp. since she is the parent of a 5 year old who has way to much responsibility for his age. That is part of the reason I went to the principal. I am genuinly concerned about the boy. It borders on neglect/abuse of him. His comments are completely inappropriate for a 5 year old boy. I really just dont want some nut taking revenge on me; it is a tough situation and I really dont know what to do. I am really at a loss right now.

I am a nurse and believe me this has me stressed to the max. I dont want to set her off but I dont know what to do either. I already feel like I crossed the line by going to the principal. But when my 4 year old thinks his friends mommy is gonna die due to the episode at soccer it has gone to the land of inappropriate behavior. Gosh I hate this. I am thinking I need to grow a set and tell her how it is. My fear is retaliation from her though. This is why I am so confused.

That poor child...you acted out of concern for him, which is admirable. The principal needs to be aware of what is happening so he or she can put all of the pieces together and act when necessary. DS's school has a counsellor on site several days a week to meet with at-risk kids (anger issues, etc...) and she has been able to positively affect change in the kids I know she has dealt with. I'm sure the principal will be discrete.

Sometimes there is a fine line between being going over board and doing what is right. If you believe that your child could be in harm's way, I think you did the right thing by going to the principal. I don't think that being confrontational will help anything. Perhaps a more in depth conversation with the principal might be helpful.

Have a great trip.



Liz, that is really scary. It sounds like it is at a point where there is not much you can do. I have found most people do not respond well to being told they need help. If you really feel the child is in danger you could go to child protective services, but I feel like since you have brought it to the principal's attention he should be watching closely. I hope it works out.

Liz, I know you feel torn as a parent & a healthcare worker what to do, though you might want to check into Florida State law in regards to Suspected Child Abuse/Endangerment reporting laws. In most states if you suspect a child is endangered or being abused and you don't report it, you could be held responsible (this varies by state law) if something happens to the child. Even though you pointed it out to the principal, this could come back on you if something bad happens to that child and you didn't report it to Child Protective Services.

[firsttimemom]

Good morning everyone! I have the 6th grader home today. She's had a bad sore throat for a couple days (not strep) so we figured she could use a day to hang out in her jammies and recuperate.

For those with Targets near them- I saw some disney stuff in the Dollar section- mini notebooks, 3 packs of the thick pens and kids socks. Just in case anyone's starting to squirrel stuff away for the holidays.

 

[aspen37]

Good morning everyone! Today should be beautiful here. It should be 60 degrees and sunny.
