I don't know if I want to engage with this mother who's in my mothers group.
She's troubled, single with two kids, our group has tried many times to help her, giving her advice and listening to her problems and letting her vent her frustrations.
Few days ago we got together and as the kids were playing together my 2 yr old was standing next to her 2 year old who was sitting down, she wasn't doing anything just standing there looking at something, next thing I know she's screaming in pain I go to pick her up and this kid had bit her! Really hard, she still has teeth marks.
I know kids do things like this, she hasn't but I know it could easily be something she might do, my issue is that this lady, the mother of the kid who bit my child was sitting right there and said NOTHING, another lady who was there told me later that while I was in the bathroom putting cold water on DD's bite that she asked her child if he had bit her (duh we all saw him bite) and when he said yes she asked him why, he shrouded his shoulders and said nothing, neither did she.
Again nothing when I left, no sorry, no concern for my kid, no consequences for hers.... I am overreacting? Maybe our children are not compatible, still I feel I don't want to expose my child to that behavior.
Am I wrong?
