I’m so sad for my sweet boy. He went trick or treating with his new team last night, and when he set his bag down, one of his teammates took most of his candy. (They are 10 & 11 year old boys, so they know better). After a full night of trick or treating, he ended up with like 8 pieces of candy. Our host gave him several full size candy bars they had left, but he cried the whole way home. Not because of the candy, because we can buy him what he was hoping for. But broken-hearted that a teammate would do that to him. He’s the new kid on the team, so I guess he just gets shit on 😔 If any of you have advice on how to navigate this and help him feel better, I’m all ears. He is devastated and that breaks my heart for him 💔
I am not ready for it either! My son had shared candy with a teammate, and then this happened. I told him not to give up his kindness and big heart, and to keep being the bigger man
Kids can be mean. That tween stage of life is full of some cruel moments for some kids too😔. Sadly it had to happen from someone he trusted too which I am pissed for him. My heart breaks for him.
Thank you friend. It was so hard hearing him cry his heart out. I know in the grand scheme of things, this isn’t big, but to him it was, and the sense of betrayal is a lot.
@scruffy.nerf.herder, It is a learning process. Sucks to have to see him this way.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Ok so my son just got his first job. He’s also type 1 diabetic. Well last night while working his sensor starts going off his blood sugar dropped to 52. They told him he could deal with it after he got his orders done, which in a way I understand that but at the same time if it drops low enough he can pass out and that won’t be good for anyone!! They wouldn’t even let him just grab some glucose tabs out of his bag. I’m so torn here because I don’t know what’s appropriate and what’s not.

This is my son Walter. Today is his birthday. He would have been five. This picture was taken when he was 16 days old. He was my first child and my only son (I now have 3 girls). He passed away the next day after this picture from congenital heart failure. It was a miracle that he lived passed 12 weeks gestation because of how severe his heart defects were. I miss him so much, I can't believe it's been 5 years. It still hurts so bad. I don't talk about him a lot out loud because I end up bawling...
This is really hard, especially when he's trying to fit in as the new kid on the team. I would encourage him not to read into it too much, some people are just lazy, rude, opportunists. They don't respect anyone else. I'm so sorry that what should be joyful turned into tears for him. We're getting into those mean teenage years, my friend, and I am not ready for the cattiness and BS.
