I am so sad.. and pissed...

That kind of spewing hatred is NOT ok with me. Gosh! Kids are so mean sometimes... and yes, their parents too! I am glad her teacher is working hard to sort things out.
 
Wow. That situations speaks volumes for the level of class "C"'s family is at. I am so glad your mom was right there, and heard it herself. Glad that both the classroom and music teachers took the matter seriously too and did not minimize the issue. Sounds like your daughter and your family have solid support. Isn't it amazing that there are people that think this way for one thing and then lack any social filter whatsoever and actually SAY what's on their minds! Mean people suck. :thumbdown:

This is my daughter. She loves everyone and will be nice to everyone. But she's not socially savvy enough to realize that some kids don't like her. It makes me sad.

I'm glad C's parents were called because they should know that their callous words harmed their own daughter and your daughter.

Boo on them.
 
Wow...some parents just don't have a clue. I am speechless that any adult would say that about a child and to say it in front of another child...One of the mom's on my son's baseball team had a similar incident with her 4 year old son...It's crazy what adults teach these kids...I'm glad your daughter has enough self esteem and confidence to not let it get to her...
 
That is just horrible...all the way around!

I'm so glad you mom was there when it happened and that the teacher did something about it.
 
That is so heartbreaking. :( I'm so sorry your sweet precious BEAUTIFUL girl had to be subjected to such a mean and hateful thing.
 
This just made me cry. I'm glad your dd is doing OK and I hope she finds better friends to hang out with. It is truly sad to see children acting that way and I agree, it's shocking until you see their parents. Big hugs to you and your dd!
 
that's awful. My Emma (she's 6) and she's big for her age. i of course think she's beautiful. It's one thing to be teased by kids, but for a parent to say that?! incredibly rude. i'm so sorry Abby had to hear that. ((hugs))

aww, she sounds a lot like my Emma. she is a pretty friendly girl too. sounds like Abby has a great teacher too. And good for Abby for not letting those words hurt her. keep up the good work, Mom! ;)
 
I wonder then if C's mom was sourgraping. Good to hear your daughter is fine. That is so upsetting, though! :(
 
{sob} You've done a great job giving your daughter a good sense of her self worth, Sara; she's lucky to hve you.
 
I agree with Krystal. So glad the teacher took care of it. I find it sad how people have no problem talking about people's weight, like its totally acceptable to make fun of someone being fat.
 
OH.MY.GOSH!!! That is just horrid! Obviously these parents have jealousy issues that they are passing onto their child. That is just so sick and wrong! Grrr, makes me mad too!!

Sad to say, in our society it is acceptable. With all the awareness we have on treating people equally no matter their race, gender, religion, etc... it is still okay to make fun of fat people. It is also okay to judge them. People look at someone like me and think I am lazy or a pig who eats all the time. My best friend eats way more than I do and she is thin, but she was blessed with a good metabolism and I was "blessed" with thyroid issues including cancer. She is judged for how she looks too, but her judgement is favorable and mine is not.

I've had weight issues my whole life and for the most part, I am pretty okay with who I am, but sometimes I still feel that I should apologize and even explain why losing weight or being thin is so hard for me. Those times are usually when I know someone is judging me by the way they act or the look they give me or even what they say. And people are very careless about what they say. I think it's because all fat people are supposed to be jolly too. Whatever.

Sara, I think it is great that you are teaching your daughter to love who she is no matter what size she is. We can only hope that C's parents will take a hard look at themselves and their values and try to become better people. And that as a society, we can stop judging one another based our outward appearances and start judging each other on who we are inside. Or maybe just stop judging each other all together.

<meekly stepping off soap box now; sorry hot button topic for me as well.>
 
Totally agree with you, Lorie. I have 2 friends who are super thin, like probably in the underweight category, who eat a ton of food and a lot of junk food, yet no one judges them for that food since they are so thin. Its really quite sad the way people judge and feel its ok. I have been across the board, from 30 pounds under weight to 40 pounds overweight.
 
Well in our school system this would be bullying and "C" would be in a heap of trouble. Don't know that you want to push it but you could always talk to the Principal about it and see if "C" can be sent to the Guidance Counselor for some time to learn about how to treat classmates.

Unfortunately our we can't keep our kids in a bubble and hurtful words will come their way eventually...just wait until middle school. I'm so sorry Abby is was treated this way. She looked like she was really haveing a great time up there during the play.
 
She's handling it awesome... she went and talked to C with her teacher and told C that she didnt' care what her parents thought, they don't know her, and they shouldn't say things like that about people they don't know.

She told me.. Mom.. it's okay.. they don't know me so I don't care what they say.

<3 I'm so proud of her.

Your daughter is a gem. This kind of attitude will take her a long way in life. I only wish I could've had that kind of strength as a young person!
 
Seriously, I have no problems driving up there and kicking C and her parents' butts!

I'm so sorry to hear about that :hugs: No child should have to hear things like that- it's ridiculous.

This would likely be treated as bullying at our school too -- they take mean stuff like this pretty seriously. I would be tempted to report it more formally. Those parents disgust me. So sorry you have to deal with this -- I know it's especially hard as a parent since we take it so personally when our kids go through life's struggles.
 
That's horrible. I'm glad your girl is taking it so well though. Sounds like she's just precious and very sure of who she is what is wonderful. She is a beautiful child too!
 
O.M.G. I'm sorry you/she had to go through this although she is one tough cookie....I'd like to B!&&##** slap those parents too! LOL!
