Charlie's still having issues at school. I think I'm on top of it, mostly, but it is so frustrating.

I'm meeting with the parents of the girl who keeps accusing Charlie of stalking her - this I don't know what to do about - she recently said he chased her around the park. He said he saw her in the park, but didn't chase her. I'm inclined to believe him, but what if I'm wrong? I'm his mother, of course I want him to be right.

But generally I can tell when he lies, because he's not very good at it. And he said he saw her in the park and though 'ah, (girl's name) but didn't 'chase' her.

I really don't know what to do. I'm so afraid this is going to screw him up for life, and then he'll never be able to have a normal relationship.

I know kids his age can be extremely sexualised, but he's not, and sometimes I think the father is really assuming more, well, 'R' rated things than are actually happening, you know? Like the whole Katy Perry thing on Sesame Street. People got all up in arms because they thought she looked 'sexy' and it would affect the kids, when, at 2 years old, they don't know what 'sexy' even is.

All that being said, he's also gotten in trouble for fighting with the girl who's his 'old girlfriend' from last year. She's taken to being mean to him, and he's responding in kind, probably disproportionately so, and I need to find a way to teach him to defend himself without stooping to her level.

Plus I don't like the idea of him being mean. I'm not raising him that way. Hopefully.

Anyway...just a morning rant before I go off to work where I'm shut away from my beloved LJ. Sigh.
