my ds 5 started school in september. He didn't know any of the other kids so the teacher asked for someone to 'volunteer' to play with him. The boy who did and my ds are now 'best friends' to the extent that my ds says he loves him and doesn't want to play with anyone else at school...
Anyway, the best friend came to our house today and I was really horrified by his behaviour - he continually called everything 'stupid' including me, my ds and our car and then said our house was too small and suggested to my ds that they 'wee all over' my 18 mo dd..who of course was 'really stupid.' My ds was pretty enthralled by all this and sort of joined in.
I tried to talk to my ds about it - in bringing him up we really emphasise kindness and having respect for people so I just reminded him about this and also told him it is a good idea to play with lots of people...obviously I don't want to bitch about this other boy to him and can't control his friendships, but aibu to try to figure out a way of weaning him off his ardour for the other boy? And - how???
AIBU?
in not liking my ds's best friend and trying to figure out what to do about it?
