Me and my boys were given some bunk beds, we had to go to Colby 20 min away to get them, so I asked a Friend to take us over, and on the way my 6 year old was sitting next to my friend, and he was picking on him, my friend was picking on my son, my son got mad and said " your an a.s, we said A.S? whats an as? he got embarrassed and said "you know, and a.s. I said are you trying to call bad names without cussing and you just cant spell it. he looked ashamed and started at the floor. so, I new I was right. my friend started laughing and that got me to laughing, but Caleb and I did have a long talk about calling bad names.

the friend was picking on your son, or your son was picking on the friend?

Good for your son then for sticking up for himself. While calling names is not nice, your son was very justified.

I think I would have been more upset with the adult for picking on my kid and I would have been especially furious that he was laughing at my kid for making a mistake. I bet he felt really embaressed and upset.. poor little guy.

Connie,
You and I think so much alike. Heaven help any "friend" who picked on my child and then laughed at him/her.

my "friends name is Bill, and Caleb Loves this man. he came in yesterday to help put the bed together and as soon as he walked in the door Caleb yelled " YAY its Bill' not to sound mean or nasty but maybe you shouldnt take things so seriousy. I was way more concerned at a 6 year old calling nasty names.

While Caleb may like Bill, Bill probably shouldn't pick on Caleb to the point of angering him. A little teasing is fine, but probably not to the point of anger.

That is true and I will talk to him about it, it he annoyed me at the time myself, but after caleb did the as thing, I figured he handled it pretty well himself. but, I will talk to Bill about it.

I was way more concerned at a 6 year old calling nasty names. You and I just don't agree at all. I take it very seriously when an adult torments a child to the point that the child will call a nasty name and then gets laughed at. Women who are beaten claim to love their husbands, so to say your son loves this man, yet this man tormented him (these are your words) send shivers down my spine. Again, I take it very seriously.

Bill does not do anything to Caleb that my dad has not done to us, or my mom for that matter. I do not want my son growing up and thinking every little thing is agaisnt him, he needs to be able to laugh at himself. he needs to me able to take a joke. I in all honesty think people are way to soft on the kids in these days, no you shouldnt call them names or beat the crap out of them, but you shouldnt baby them either. have you never done something that was funny and people laughed? I have, lots of times, I have made a fool out of myself many times and people have laughed, and so did I. and so will my son. Bill was trying to teach Caleb something, Caleb kept trying to push buttons in the pick up he shouldnt be pushing, he was told not to do it, Bill got mad, but was trying to distract caleb and teach him without scolding or sounding bossy. Caleb got mad at said your an as. they were both in a way in the wrong, but there was no abuse in anyway. maybe you dont agree, but I dont agree with you jumping to conclusions and making something that is all in all pretty funny into something it isnt.

I think this needs to be moved to the "no holds barred" section.

I don't think you can compare a 6 year old misbehaving to a grown man misbehaving.
