{{{{{{{{{{Carrie}}}}}}}}}}}}}} I am very proud of you actually. If that had been happening to Alex, I would have been there and right in that woman's face - no one messes with my son and hurts his feelings. I would have simply reacted and not thought about it twice.

You are doing the right thing and going through the right channels. You're a good mom and explaining things to your kids is the best way about people. I've tried telling Alex that there are people out there that just hurt others and to be careful - it is hard though.

I never take my own advice either. I can try to help other people and it works for them, but I never think of doing the same towards myself.

I vote for chocolate also.
