As a parent you (not you but general) have to also respect the friends house too, especially if they don't have kids. Just my opinion though, no one has to agree.

I agree 100% with vainchick5 but sometimes accidents do happen and it's how you handle the situation afterwards and I think she did the best she could by apologizing and offering the money. I am sure she will be more careful next time.

And I know that, accidents do happen and her friend should have handled it better, maybe been more sensitive to the fact that the mom probably feels horrible already.

I agree.

I agree. There was no reason to make her feel even worse about the situation. I'm sure she felt terrible already. But I'm glad you girls were able to patch things up.

I totally agree with you that kids need to be taught what they can and can't do. But in my opinion a 2 year old is really low on the learning curve for that. I don't know if you have kids yet, but they do get in to things in an instant....kind of like yorkies!

It's kind of funny but I don't even care when Coco gets into stuff.lol.or when my friends yorkie boy gets into my stuff...lol..we let these babies get away with murder

Kikipie, I am just so glad your son didn't get hurt when the vase fell! Know that we love you and you can feel free to tell us anything - without judgement... (most of us, anyway!)

Repunzel · 06-30-2006, 11:07 AM

I've met people who have no children. Like most of us we can become overly obsessive about things, people, ahem....dogs

. I think in this instance her world may be focused on things because she has nothing else. I'm sure later down the road she'll realize that things are replaceable but not people. Hopefully this insight will help alleviate the sting. Forgive her for her short-sightedness and you'll find new friends....maybe one who loves her yorkie as much as you

!!!

Hey Nobella, there have been full moons out all week!

KiKiPie · 06-30-2006, 03:21 PM

Maybe I should have mentioned that it was a total accident. My friends husband was playing with Bryson and he accidently knocked it over. In our case, Bryson does not know better. He was born very prematurely and is a few months behind and has some health problems. And my friend and I were never mad at each other or anything, my feelings were just a little hurt. I thank you for being supportive!

My friend SHOULD NOT have to rearrange her whole house just because i have a kid. Parent s need to take responsibilty for their children instead of saying..oh hes 2..its ok. Its not ok...I run a daycare so i know what alot of parents do./ I have a 17 month old that tried ONCE to pull wallpaper... I said no moved her away and OH MY GOSH..she doesnt mess with it. You have your opinion and I have mine but usually how a child acts is the fault the parent! JMHO

Wow! I just wanted to share my day with my friends at YT.
