Sand castles


People have been kind sharing their sand toys everyday when we go to the park.  I felt bad, so I finally bought some of our own.  One mom told me, since they can only have 1 child they want them to share.   My boys were also sharing their sand toys.  Except the kids they let use it, decided they would throw the sand at people's heads.  I must've been the only sane adult.  I yelled at them and took back our sand toys. 
 A few minutes later the two bad kids are back throwing stones at the other kids.  I yelled at them again.  This time it got their mom's attention, they hid and she took them home.   One parent understood English and said "I criticized my child."  Okay, but I didn't see his kid doing anything.  When I told my in-laws.  They said I should leave the park.  I guess they mean, don't say anything to them and leave.  Great, reward the bullies.  
I knew I would not get back in time to pick up the boys from school, so I made sure it was fine for the in-laws to pick them up(even though they never let me pick them up by myself).   My mother-in-law said one of the other woman commented that when I take the kids to the park I just sit there, I don't talk.  She told them I don't speak Chinese.  Besides why do I need to talk to a bunch of old nosy busy bodies?
