I got dumped by my good friend because my kid hit their kid.

Throwaway, just in case.Long story short, after a night of roughhousing, my almost three year old hit my friend's four year old in the face. I immediately intervened, put him on time out, made him apologize, etc. They said it was no big deal. My friend's kid was left with a red mark on her cheek from where he popped her.The next day, I get a FB message saying that he "attacked her unprovoked" and as they "don't want to give her the message that a) it is okay that he hit her and b) that they won't defend her" - but that they hope we can still be friends, despite them not wanting to be around my child (um?) Then they attached a picture of the red mark on their child's face, which must have been taken right after we left since her kid was in the same outfit/had the same hairstyle. HI. I saw the red mark, I WAS THERE.I am IRATE. My kid is not yet three. They were friends of mine. I feel like this is a socially tone deaf move on their part to not have the courtesy to say something in person, and that it is otherwise just NUTS in therms of how they expect a preschooler to behave and words used (unprovoked attack!?).Talk me down. For the love of God. Someone talk me down. What do I do when inevitably see them at the local playgrounds? I have refrained from responding thus far, because I feel so defensive. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2FNv4B2
