3 TROUBLESOME BOYS

Maria — As a foster mom who currently has four boys, two of whom have po*p for

brains (sorry, but that’s the truth), these kids really have no bringing up and

no social conscience. I’m not sure what your answer is, but don’t get your

feelings hurt over it. I am loved by most of my foster kids and even by my own

7 grown kids and their friends (countless hungry, dirty kids, despite the fact

that we lived in an “affluent” community) because I am kind to everyone, kids

especially, but take it from me, some kids are really messed up and have no

moral code. It has nothing to do with you personally. Don’t take their

garbage, though. If you need to say something to them, get their parents’ names

and phone numbers from them, and let them know in no uncertain terms that you

won’t take their baloney. Some kids just need to be shown that their behaviors

won’t be tolerated (and shouldn’t have to be). I’m sorry to say this, but as a

“professional mom”, it’s really the truth.

Subject: Budget101.com : 3 troublesome boys

i was taking the long way around my apartment complex to take a

walk,and i saw three boys playing on the swing set in the playground.(2

of these boys-beat up/picked on my son when we first moved in)the other

is another kid who is always getting into touble and has also picked on

my son one time or another,I have always gotten along with these kids

more or less on a one on one basis,except today.As I was approaching

the swings,they all glanced my way,then when I was walking past

them,one of them started singing”here comes Godzilla” then the other

boy commented,hey she is trying to loose weight…she looks like a pig!

I responded”you need to get some manners”they all stayed quiet for a

moment then one of them said something and they all started laughing!

It kind of hurt my feelings and I can imagine what is going to happen

to my son if he rides the school bus with these kids! How would you

guys handle these kids??They have no respect for adults anymore at all!
