If my child is assaulted by another child at school, is it unreasonable for me to expect the perpetrators parents to reach out and apologize? #parentsr #asknostr 
Discussion
Society is broken.
Btw there is a really good film (play) about exactly this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnage_(2011_film)
Hope your little one is alright
Thanks, I’ll check it out. My son is alright, went to the skatepark after school where he got more hurt and got up again and skated more. Seems to be behind him now.
Will, if your child is that little girl there.. Wait until they have buried their son. 👀
It’s isn’t but he doesn’t train, he could have smashed the other kid but didn’t, I’m proud he restrained himself. I told him if it happens again he has my permission to fight back.
*does train.
You should be proud, and also happy about his coach and the place he trains, cause they teached he already know how to restrain himself. Not a dad here, so I am the last who can say something, but I strongly believe you also did very good about a possible further time.. #parentingood 🤙🫂🍀💜
I am continually humbled by the wisdom my kids show. Probably comes from my wife 😅. Parenting is a blessing, I never imagined it would be, but I’m pleasantly surprised how fulfilling it is.
So nice to read this words.. you made being a parent a less scaring in my view 🫂💜
Wish the best for you, your son, and your very likely amazing wife, congratulations Sir, seems you are on the right path! 😁🍀🤙
Thank you. It definitely feels that way, most of the time. I had kids late in life, but it was the right time for me. Definitely not as scary as I thought, and my theory is, if you raise them as people you want to spend time with (instead of treating them like children) they’ll grow up cool people.
I did coached sport for some years now to kids and teenagers.. that is the most important thing I have learned, to never treat them as children, when you do it you create an environment and the excuse for them to be unmature and behave as "kids"
Personally, I would expect the child to reach out and apologise .. I wouldn't want the child to be expecting the parents to sort it out for them 🤷🏻
No, not at all.
If I don’t hear anything today I’ll have a talk with them on the playground tomorrow.
Disappoint comes when expectation != reality
Save yourself the angst, if you need to discuss it with the parents, reach out.
Else, have peace.
Agreed. I don’t expect much, but i will seek them out on the playground to have a word if they don’t reach out. My son seems over it, but he also tends to bottle this sort of thing up.
All of our expectations are unreasonable. Nevertheless, we can share them in communications and by doing so we can come to understandings with others. This is the way.
