Since there's chemistry and attraction between male & female. There is chemistry and attraction between gay people too. And quite often, gay people are attractive.
Can you elaborate more? Does it mean because gay attract gay, hence normal kids should be safe?

Gay guys have attractive personalities to the female(because they understand females and can be very good \"girlfriends\") but I am not sure if females find lesbians have attractive personalities.

I think not safe because kids can be inspired and influenced. Gay people find the same sex attractive, gay or not may not be a factor. Personally I get along fine with gay people but I don't feel comfortable with lesbian.

Dd’s private music teacher is very likely a gay person. I sit in every lessons for her. In our case, I would worry more if he is normal.

I’ve no evident to proof he’s gay. Just that when I talk to him, I don’t feel like talking to a man. His reasoning pattern and response are very much like a female. He speaks with a raised voice. Whenever I brought my teenage ds along to the lesson, he would pay attention to my son by looking and commenting a tiny bit more than causual. I would sure not let him teach my boy.

I have a question for the forum:

You have a female private tutor who has been teaching your child and you later discovered that she is a lesbian.

Would you allow this teacher to continue teaching your child?

Keep the room door opened and interact with the teacher often to make sure she has a sound mind. lesbian or not.

2ppaamm, how about one to one swimming lesson?

The coach must be able to teach a special needs child. They take instructions very slowly and often look as if they are not learning. Must be patient because they will learn much slower. Do you know of any coach?

have you spoken to bubblesnsplashes? I think he's trained and I hope your son gets another go at swimming. Jia you!

Ya I typically don't bother to even speak to rude parents...sometimes too shock at their misbehaviour more than their kids'... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yep, that's me. No point lah. I have to confess that my son can be really nasty, but I make sure I correct him. Some parents though, instigate their own kids. Seriously wonder what their kids are learning.

I have this parent shouting at me at the pool once. I didn't know what to do, because her DD kept 'bitching' about my son, and so he called her names, so she shouted and shouted at me.

I just ignored her, so she shouted louder and louder. I thought to myself, the next time this happens, I will call the police. What right has she got. Of course lah, I'm never embarrassed kind, and didn't even react, so she got angrier and angrier.

:!: Bitching about people is ok, calling names is not? No wonder her son is so bitchy, the mother is worse. Some people just think the world of themselves but pity the young boy having been brought up in such manner. Today I encountered a little :siao: incident also. I got up a bus and as all the outside seats were full, I stood next to a woman showing intent to take the inner seat. She was at the same time through her body language wanted to alight at the next stop so I just stood there waiting for her to get up. However, after about a minute she still remain sitting so I murmured \"excuse me\". Instead, she got up. turning around to look me at the face and ranted at me murmuring in Chinese \"jiang se me Engalish\" I was :shock: and control myself by not responding. She continued to murmur about speaking English and giving me the killer look as she alight. She has dark complexion and can easily be mistaken as a Filipino but her accent definitely indicates that she is from mainland. Even if she doesn't know English, she doesn't have to be so angry about it, right? :sick:

just treat them as MAD people lor (escape from the zoo, hahha)...unreasonable people keep thinking they have the right to talk bad at other people. and forgot to reflect upon themselves.

Then there is this guy watching at the side (their friends) and butt in, saying he saw DS2 throwing the towel at another boy, so he must be guilty. The other boy is my other son. This one lagi best, go round the pool telling everyone to complain to the coach about my son.

I think I've had quite enough. Strange people, none of their business mah, my kid did not offend them, and him having a squabble with his own brother made him guilty of everything else?

I'll do what you suggested. MAD people.

Yeah lor, don't bother about them lor, but in my mind, I was wondering what I should do next. Well, I will call the police next time someone shouts like this! :celebrate:

Sigh! Wish more will understand. Now DS told me he loves to swim but I have no place for him to do that.

I am generalising here...but I find girls learning swimming are quite hostile and boys are mischievous???

When your kids are good, the parents are hostile and the boys are vulgar (teenagers). The girls seem quite bitchy with their mouths and lazy. Generalizing again...

They will never have a mirror. I asked her if she wanted to know what her daughter said, she said no. Because I was just next to the pool all the time, and I could hear her. Also, my son has SID in the ears, he can hear her. She didn't believe my son could hear her across the pool. So the girl went on and on... but cannot take it when people give it back to her.

This parent sounded rude if her girl was bitchy and went to provoke your child first. She needed a mirror.

My girl also had her fair share of super rude kids in the pool.
Statements like \"Loser\", \"You so slow\", \"Why you overtake me?\" and pulling her back to touch finishing line first all happened in the pool......
And my child never answers back. She retaliates by swimming faster and faster and faster..... until one day the coach asked a boy(also competitive), should you go first or this girl go first....then the boy answered...\"She goes first...\" and hung his head down.

When you have 5 kids, none is bao pei, so if people kick my kids, I let it be, swimming ma, but if my kid kick hor, the roof will come down. What should I do? Teach me lah, because I don't know how. :([/quote]I think others would agree with me when i say you are a very good, loving mother, doing an excellent job and by not retaliating towards the 'shouting mother', you have set the BEST example not only to your own child but the rest of the children that saw the incident. :udawoman:

WHAT !! is there any avenue available to report such behavior ?? Good for you that you've taken such action. Did you share your experience with the other mothers? I think you should. Such a person should not be allowed to teach at all !! hmmpphh!! and it was at a swimming pool !! isnt dat kinda endangering the lives of the child?? :x :x

sorry guys, i tend to get overly emotional easily when it comes to children being mistreated.
