my kid is getting bullied.

My little boy, was a bit up set yesterday after school when his mum picked him up. He was in a bad mood. Apparently he had a fight with one of his friends. When I got home I went and talked to him to check he was OK. Apparently there was two events that day. The other was a group of kids (5 to 7 year old, he is nearly 7) had been trying to up set him by making fun of me in front of him and generally being little shit bags. Feeling terrible that my choices has inflected this on him and we are going to contact the school. He was OK, more cross than up set, I told him that I was so sorry that they did that to him. Which he replied "it's not your fault daddy, that you feel like a girl." he is just worried I would get up set by people saying things.
He still happy for me to pick him up and drop him off at school when I need to. It was after the kids went back from the holidays so one of them must have had told some thing at home. As it did not occur before hand.

Hi Abby!

Children don't have prejudice, it is instilled in them, mostly at home and I'll wager that it is their parents that are at the bottom of it.

How sweet that your Son has the intelligence to see through it all. He has clearly been raised well. Take care Abby. Celia xx

It is sometimes amazing how much little ones know what is good and bad and how they are willing to stand up for the good.

He will get over this incident and once his 'friends' find out he is not a pushover, they too will get over you.

Continue to let him know that he does not have to stand up for you, but that you are very glad that he does and that you are there to protect him as much as he protects you.

As I read it, YOU are being bullied and your son was upset about it on your behalf.

I think your son is a marvellous young man.

Thank you every body. X
He said there was no issues today, which was welcome news. He knows that I don't overly care what people say or stare when out and about (when it does I try and hide it until his a sleep).

My son was bullied for a while, not about me but one particular little brat had it in for him. I went and complained to the school and to be fair they dealt with it. But what was interesting is that he learned from it. He's one tough cookie as it turned out. Now he's got a good circle of friends and he's known as the boy you don't mess with. Actually he's a right little man. Very sure of himself and protective of his family and friends.

Your comments about your son makes me think he's similar.

He seems to have real character like my little man.

I say sue the school, and to thank me for my advice give me a small 10% of the earnings. Its a win win, except for the school of course.

Also not a joke and I could really use that money to help my transition.

I think sueing is a bit much for a one off, and nothing has happened again.

It's not really about right and wrong its more about me and you making money.
