Hey everyone I hope your doing well. =)
My children have finished their school work for the day so they are now playing with their neighborhood friends.
One little girl here was talking to my daughter and they were talking about a boy. My son was teasing my oldest daughter and said the boy doesn't like you. The little girl turned to him and said shut up you stupid, ugly chicken nugget nobody was talking to you!
So my son got told by me he better quit teasing his sister (or else) and the girl was told she needs to apologize to my son and if there's anymore name calling by her at my home she will be asked to leave. I do not tolerate name calling or bullying in or at my house at all.
She left and hasn't come back. That's her choice. I told them all my rule before they started playing together a few days ago.
I believe in lifting others up, not putting down and I think it starts in childhood.
Guess I'm tougher than I thought... 
Oh well, my children will be respectful people or at least I'm trying to lead them down that path anyway.

You're tough - but it's because you care and you want to teach them to care too! Kids need this guidance - and I do believe it's better to nip it in the bud in childhood . . . we've all seen what happens when this kinda stuff continues when they get older

@LovingMyBabies 
Well maybe she left this time, but when she understands this behavior will not be tolerated, she'll come back and follow the rules (hopefully) if she wants to play.

@much2say Exactly! Yes I will not allow my children to behave this way or anyone that comes to my home. They Will follow my rules or leave...so simple. Sadly she chose to leave, which I actually wasn't expecting. =( It disappointed me.

"Stupid, ugly chicken nugget"? I'm sorry, but that made me laugh. I'd give that girl a gold star for creativity. But you're absolutely correct in not allowing name calling in your home.

@LovingMyBabies Yes it was rude, and good that your son recognized it as such and voiced objection, but it was funny.

@BarBaraPrz To be honest I did laugh because I have never heard that expression used before. But when I did my son got offended and said it's not funny-it was rude! Lol

I totally agree with you. Maybe you startled her. She may not be used to being told how she should act.

@LovingMyBabies ........House rules are important for any household. When visitors come over they should go by the same rules. Just common sense. I have had issues with visiting kids too.

Way to go mama. 
.
Wonder if she gets called names and that's where it came from. Never know but good you're teaching your kids better.
They're great little humans already.

@Courtlynn Thank you! I was really disappointed she left. I wasn't expecting her to, I just wanted her to follow the rules at my home.

They know that you mean what you say, and that they can trust you, because you did just what you told them about not being respectful. I was taught that lesson at a young age. I maybe did not always like the rules my parents had, but I knew I could count on them.

@Gardengerty Absolutely, I stick to what I say. I am the same way, they know what to expect with me.

You are right, it DOES start in childhood. And good for you! It was never allowed at my house either. The thing I'm proudest of in my children, er, adults, is their kindness. I would have been so upset if my kids had been bullies.

If you can teach your children that, you will have, in a small way, made the world a better place.

Agree, she shouldn't have named your son, but I wonder if that was the way for her to stand up for your daughter since she was being teased by her brother.

@LovingMyBabies Very true. Sometimes we blurt things we don't necessarily mean both are at fault definitely.

@infatuatedbby She could have said stop teasing her or that's not nice. She didn't have to call him stupid and ugly-especially to a child who has Aspergers and has low self esteem already...
