O the way home I was asking my dd, Payton, almost 4, if there was anyone else she wanted to invite to her party from school. She was telling me about two of the boys she liked at school. She mentioned Reed and I asked her what she and Reed do at school and she said ‘Reed likes the pretend he has a knife and says ‘I’m going to cut you’re head off’”
What?! I mean I don’t think I’m being overly protective to not want my dd playing with kids who already, at 4, are playing so violently. This is her second year in this Montessori school (she mentioned other violent stuff too, like Batman killing the bad guys) I feel rather stuckn this situation. I love her school, but not so much a lot of the kids there, and the yuppy families they come from. I know boys are different and she’ll always run in to ones who like to play like this. But am I wrong for wanting to surround her with kids from families that have beliefs more like ours?
I’ve recently started up an Eco-friendly housecleaning business. So I feel like if I left this school it would ruin my chances of getting cleaning jobs (already have two) If I had to bring her with me too often I’d have to waste time on the job worrying about what she was touching. We’d originally wanted to do something more like co-op schooling as we don’t plan on putting her in public school, but we fell in love with this Montessori school when looking at various ones in our area. I’m used to being able to leave her there when I need to, and I REALLY appreciate having some time to myself.
Ug, I don’t know what to do right now and would appreciate advice from people with more experience.
