I would not let them hurt each others feelings and I sure would not let them be that way with our furry family members either. I'm sure many people think that is strange but they just don't know how to watch an animal and read it's reactions. Or maybe they just don't care.
I have taught my grand children the same things and let me tell you the younger kids need an extra dose of teaching about kindness. It seems to be a missing element in many households these days. |
No, I know, my mom is the same way.
She tells me not to laugh when Mocha does something funny, at least not to her face (when she does something embarrassing, she always looks around to check if anyone else saw, so we have to pretend we didn't see sometimes), but sometimes I just can't help it.
