Thanks tash, I was actually quite proud after the first and only set of tears dd got back in and amongst it all - it probably bothered me more as I recall vaguely being bullied when I was 5 or 6 by two much older girls on one occasion.

I feel for you mumma's who aren't comfortable taking your kids out to a playground incase they play too roughly with others. That'd be so hard...

I hope I haven't upset anyone in writing this thread *hugs to all*
