Holy Cow! And I do mean COW. I've met mothers like that one. They are the ones whose kids are usually selling the best fake I.D.'s, rolling the finest joints and forging their parents' signatures. What a babe. Sorry your son had to learn a lesson dealt by such a witch in turbo.

The lady did not have to go off the handle like that. It was an accident. Dont' let that incident ruin your vacation. You are being missed lot's here.

It's her problem -- she's nuts -- and she had no right to dump it on your kid or you. I once accidentally bumped a supermarket cart with my car and it rolled into the next space (empty) as a car pulled in and touched it. I got out to move the cart and apologize, and the elderly woman passenger rolled down her window and said I was the worst person she had ever seen and it was people like me who make the world the terrible place it is. ??? Feel sorry for people like this. (And be pissed off that they ever crossed your path.)

A life's lesson was learned with the least amount of pain. Good job mom!

Poor you! Poor hub! Poor, poor son! What a wretched woman. I know that sick feeling you get dealing with people like that. ugh Awfully glad we won't be bailing you out of jail!

Hello I'm foreversaved on diaryland. I dropped in randomly through a banner of yours and I have to say I'm sorry that such an annoying woman had to attempt to ruin your vacation! Yes although at 16 I'm already overprotective of my friends and family, I can hardly stand mothers who believe all their children are perfect saints born into an evil world where everybody seems to be plotting to take advantage of their kind little hearts. Maybe she's the one who needs to take a course in anger management instead of suggesting that your kids need to be taught better behavior. Well, your son WAS sorry for what he did and both your kids tried to apologize, so you know that they were reasonable! On another note, I'm guessing that even her own kids were embarrassed at her outburst. I sure would be if my mom decided to do something like that! You have a very entertaining style of writing! God bless, hugs and kisses. Lots of Love, ><> Elizabeth <><

Oh the memories! One day, about 25 years ago, my upstairs neighbor heard me talkeing rather loudly at her 3 year old with my hand on his arm. She came out and whipped the boy away, screaming at me that if I were ever to lay a hand on hir son again, she would have me arrested. She screamed for a good 5 minutes and when she was done, the man standing next to me told her that it was a good thing I had been there. I had just grabbed her three year old out of a line of oncoming traffic! As a mother of two myself, yelling at her kid was a reaction to being scared out of my mind. She not only apologized, but thanked me profusly for saving her childs butt. Lesson learned. Get the facts before you run your mouth off. That woman you had to deal with will go through life never knowing what her own kids are doing. She will be to busy screaming.

What a crazy woman! BTW - I think you are a great Mom! My son threw a leaf over a railing at a free mall concert and the nice security guy came and told us to stop throwing food because it hit another guard!?! I had all of my daycare kiddos with me - ages 2-4 - and the 8 year old throws something over the railing! LOL

we were at a restaurant the other day and my 2.5 yr old balls up a napkin and pitches it. i mean, really lets it go and before i could do anything to stop him. it wound up in a kid's lap two booths down. i apologized profusely and the kid and his parent's laughed it off. i was so worried they'd blow up at us. i've learned to keep the napkins out of little hands!

Holy cow...that woman...man...I would want to throw her off the balcony after that. She is the kind of person that does that just to satisfy her empty lonely life by making someone else's miserable. Glad you can still enjoy your diet coke and your vacation!

Wow, what a beeyotch. That chick has issues. And then some. And I think you're right: her kid is definitely going to end up prying off hubcaps and smashing mailboxes whilst videotaping it for the cops to view the day he gets caught. Or will end up doing so. Jeez. Some people are just losers all the way thru. If she'd really been concerned and a good parent and all that, she would have listened to what your son had to say and then given him a stern but lucid lecture. Witch. Look at it this way: her vacation was probably ruined, she's such a psycho. :) kd

She had to have been possessed. I can't believe her son didn't say something but then he lives with her. What an adventure!
