I'd definitely say something next time you saw those "ladies". Rude is right.

Maybe let them know about him. In a short, to the point, way.

Shame on any "adult" who says anything about a child without knowing their history.

Shame on them.

We should all wonder if there's something else going on before we judge.

ick.

my 5 year old son is such a good boy really but just now on the way home he got branded a rude child by another mum from his school, when he's not.... he rides his scooter too and from school and wont do this journey any other way but he has to go 'super fast' as he puts it (its the same when i take him for a walk, he has to go 'super fast')i'm forever calling to him to slow down but he's always carefull of other people, he's also incredibly polite. on the way home today he was weaving his way through the school crowd to go home calling out excuse me to people as he moves around them.. he went through two mothers and shouted excuse me as he went but they started to call him a rude child (he had no idea they were talking to him as he'd gone on ahead) then they started looking behind in my direction whilst shouting how rude 'that boy' is, in a confrontational manner. i really bit my tounge as things

would've heated up but im so upset angry now (not the first time my sons been branded naughty by strangers, it happens quite a lot because of his speed and having to follow patterns in the pavement, therefore getting in the way.) im just feeling so sad that other people can be so nasty about a little boy who they dont know but he's the sweetest kid and cannot see why people get upset with him as to him hes being polite because he says excuse me! i have tried explaining to him but it doesnt do any good sorry, i just needed to let off steam!

Well first he was not rude...he said Excuse Me...they were probably so busy jacking that they never heard him.....I love when people jsut stand around in the way and talk....ugh...maybe you can explain his condition and they might understand better. But too me...he sounds super polite. If they continue to feel this way after you explained...well then that is their problem and not yours...because to me ...your son sounds very polite. Wait till their kids get in high school....I bet they will be big offenders!!!!

Exactly right Robin! I'd have given those women a quick lesson in what's REALLY rude (namely their comments!) Your story had me giggling!! THAT is MY son!! HAHA! Patterns in the pavement and speed racer (I call him my runaway train!) When he finds something he likes he cannot be stopped!
