DD's "playdate" hates Ds

She keeps saying "XXXX, tell him not to look at me, I don't want him to touch me"

Ds dropped his fork and she kicked him when he was under the table picking it up I reprimanded her and she said it was an accident, but I know it wasn't.



Ds is 2. And he is as sweet as pie.

She has no younger siblings so maybe she is unsure of what a 2yr old is supposed to do.

She keeps shutting dd's bedroom door on ds who just wants to play with his sister like normal. I have taken ds in the room with me & playing with him, but he wants his sister.

Oh well, she is going home soon.

Don't really need advice, just to vent

Plus... she keeps whispering to dd in the hallway "Ask your mammy for sweets, tell your mammy we want juice etc...."

She has been here once before, as she is dd's best friend in school. That day she hit ds as he wanted to sit beside his sister.

I had a playdate of ds1 once push ds2 right off the top of our slide (a tall one, not a baby slide) - ds2 was 2.5 at the time The annoying thing was that ds2 still wanted to play with this boy and ds1

I've had this but not nearly so bad (eek at her kicking him etc!)

DD's has had 3 school friends around for a play date (she's only in Reception) and 2 of them wanted to exclude ds (who is 3). I have to admit that dd was complicit in this.

As in your case, normally dd and ds play together happily for ages when she gets home from school.

I have sort of resolved to invite some of ds' friends from Pre-School because I really felt for him

Yep, I kept taking ds away, but dd even wanted him to play with them, she said he could be the baby

DD just told me her friend doesn't like ds.. wow, what a suprise

I think it would be perfectly reasonable for you to take the little girl to one side and to tell her that she must be nice to your ds and if not you might not be able to have her around to play any more

HMC, ds had been at the c/minders until 4pm. {he goes tue & thur to keep him in routine whilst I am off]

DD had been here with her friend from 2pm & they had been dressing up etc, dd kept asking when ds would be coming home. He plays with 2 little guys at the c/minder and he plays lovely. The friend just doesn't like him.

Ds got told off as he shoved the remote control into dd's tummy and the friend said to me "Slap him, you should slap him!"

She sounds like a right little charmer!

We've had this in our house a couple of times, but only when ds has girls round to play. One in particular kept whispering to him 'let's run really fast to get away from your sister'. I took her to one side and explained to her that we don't play like that in our house' but she continued in other snide ways. I put her on the stairs eventually!

Her mum came for her a while ago.

She asked how she had been & I said fine, apart from the fact she obviously has a dislike of ds.

The mum laughed.

She said she doesn't like the little boy next door either..... so it's obviously ok then!

I say to mine that they are responsible for not allowing their friends to hurt their younger sibs. I go mental if they have allowed nastiness to happen during play. I say that I will not have that person over again if it continues. That normally stops it.

You have to protect your children

DD's friend (7) reduced DS#1 (9) to tears a few months back..

He went and sat on the swing and sulked....

firefairy - I'm afraid that some children are simply horrid. I hate to say it as generally I love kids but I've had to face the terrible truth that some are simply not likeable. And some of them have been my DD's bestest bestest mates (of the week).

Dd's friend doesn't like my ds either He's 4.6 yo and doesn't care though She doesn't like boys and thinks they're hopeless. She has 2 sisters and her mum is pregnant so pity the baby if it's a boy.
