    you know, i usually can come up with so much bad stuff in 5 seconds that karen would ban me. I could have 3 pages long of rants and raves and cuss words sent to her.

    That is horrible. I wonder how old the girls mother was, because that sounds like a really immature thing to do, but I guess being selfish has no age.


    Reggie, get a grip. Why would you want to send three pages of cuss words to stranger that has no impact on your life?

    If I was worried about the beads being a choking hazard I simply would have thanked the boys and put them away until they were a little older.

    Pam, that's a better idea. tell the boys how much the girls will appreciate getting them
    when they are a little older.


    Reggie, grow up please.

    Yup, and even let the girls try them on, make everyone happy, then say the girls shoudl take them off while they eat; play; whatever they are getting up to. Just make some excuse. Say they should save them for special occassions, if the girls aren't ready to give them up. It's called tact, and later can develop into diplomacy. That woman has none of it.

    Unless there is n immediate danger, there were several ways around this, keeping harmony and everyone happy. Geesh!

    This kind of thing really gets to me. I am all about not hurting anyone's feelings, as I'm sure most of us are. What a shame that an adult chose to act like that with no regard to the damage she was doing to those little kids. Poor little fellas will probably never forget it I will rest assured that someday it will come back to this inconsiderate woman

    Thanks Barry!

    And tell me how would that help the situation in anyway?

    If you did that, they would have the cops on the company in tow seconds flat.

    My gosh what a mean person.She didn't have to give them to her daughters intil they are alot older.Even if she didn't like them she should have thanked the boys and said how nice it was of them to think of her daughters and make them beautiful bracklets(sp?)

    Sounds like it very well could be an issue between the mom and the SIL maybe, and the poor boys got the fallout. How heartbreaking for them I know my mom and my dads sister were always at odds, and nothing we could do would ever please my aunt -- turns out she was just a b****. And it sounds like this woman is as well.

    Yeah it was really unfortunate. I don't know why she didn't keep them for her boys.... I know as a child if I was upset about something like that I would just want it to go away I wouldn't have wanted to keep it to remind me that my work "Isn't good enough" Of course it's not true that they weren't good enough..... but I can definitely see a child feeling that way and not wanting to even see the bracelets anymore. She didn't have the boys in the store with her when she came back. It was just her and her daughter and they ended up exchanging the bracelets for the bracelets the daughter had made (the mother didn't end up having enough money to pay for all the bracelets at once so she was going to come back next week for her daughters bracelets)

    Reggie, NO I do NOT have her email address.... this person was a CUSTOMER.... if I did have it I would not be giving it out to someone to send a rude message to a customer or anyone in their family. Seems you need to find an outlet for that anger before it gets the best of you. I mean yes this situation upset me because I just can't imagine hurting a child like that but not enough for me to harass someone over it.




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

    Even at my age I am still stunned when someone does something deliberately cruel. As Blue Frog said, I think there is more to the story than meets the eye. There must be some issues between the Mother and the DIL and the DIL
    was using this situation to get back at her.

    She could have kindly kept them - used them as decoration for the time being until the girls were old enough to wear them safely.
