Today, I had to explain to several young children why asking the new blind girl to play hide and seek with them is inappropriate. FML

Today, while life-guarding, I had to explain to teenage boys that shoving objects up each others' butts and complaining that someone was giving them anal was inappropriate at a family facility in front of kids under the age of 10. FML

Today, I had to take my daughter home from school because she had been caught flashing the boys during class. I tried to explain to her that it wasn't an appropriate way to act or behave but she interrupted me, "Mom, you don't even understand." You're right. I don't. FML

Today, I was babysitting a 4-year-old, and we decided to play a game of hide and seek. Before he started to count, he looked me in the eyes and said that if I hid in his spot, he'd murder me with a knife when he grows up. I have to babysit this kid for the rest of the summer. FML

Today, I had to deal with a snobby rich woman who asked me to cure her daughter's "unhealthy obsession" with playing outside instead of watching TV with the rest of the family. She called me a liar when I said playing outside is a normal thing for a 6 year-old child to do. FML

Today, I got fired from my childcare job of five years because the other staff weren't as popular with the kids, so they accused me of being "creepy" because the kids all wanted to play a game with me instead of them. FML

She can hide with another child, I think it's sweet they wanted to include her. Maybe you were being a little uptight and should have thought of how she could play instead of why she couldn't.

It's saddening that she's blind, and may have been embarrassed but you did your best OP!

I think the OP was being unfair to the blind girl. Children don't want to feel left out, even if what their friends are doing is difficult or not what they are used to. My husband has been legally blind his whole life, what people don't understand is that people with disabilities are still the same people, they react, feel and care about what able people do. They are not this 'alien species' that should be treated like glass or put on the sidelines if something is happening and they might not experience it the same way. Well done to the OP for instilling difference from your classmates at such an early age.
