But it's a place where kids learn to negotiate with other kids without a lot of parental oversight.
I agree with this up to a point. I'll let D work it out on his own with other 2-3 year olds, but I intervene if there's a significant enough age/size/development difference that someone could really get hurt. (I intervene much faster if it's D about to run over a crawling baby than the other way around, though - it's a little scary how well he can hold his own with the 4-5 year olds.)
Kat, honestly, it sounds like K maybe wanted to punish the boy a little for his rudeness? I mean, if she only wanted to rescue Noah, just grab him off the end of the slide. I know everyone else here has got your back, but if someone clotheslined my five year old to make her teeth rattle and then just walked away without saying anything, I would be right pissed. I think you can go back to the playground, but if you run into that kid's parents again, some nice-making is in order. It's never wrong to apologize for hurting someone else's child, albeit unintentionally, even if said child was being a brat.
I agree with this.
damn damn damn overdrawn on my account. bad timing of deposits and people cashing checks. I just wasn't paying enough attention. I've transferred over from saving, so I am fine now, but I think a big check is hitting today. I guess I need to go run a cash advance and deposit it and then pay it back on Friday when the paycheck clears. fails at being a grown-up.
That sucks, msbelle.

I've been feeling like that recently.
ION, if I cut a hole in the top of my skull and add hot water and a tea-bag, how long should I let it steep?
It's really only a major fail if it's your normal operating procedure, as opposed to a very occasional lapse of attention.
(FWIW, I read Kat's description as K having intended to catch the sliding kid around the waist and misjudging how that would work.)
Sorry msbelle. That sort of stuff happens. I overdrew a couple of months ago. My wife wrote a large check, told me about it and I totally forgot about it and failed to transfer in some money until the next pay period. The check beat direct deposit by a few hours.

That only leads to trouble, tommyrot.

Yeah, but then I'd have a talking cat.
Crap. Tea made nary a dent in my gronk. Time for coffee.
Last night, Olivia saw a guy on a motorcycle. She said, "Brandon (one of our cutiehead babysitters) has a motorcycle. He's cool."
Noooooooooooooooo!
