DS (5) is going through a horribly annoying phase of being a bit of a tell tale, ie when he has his friends over, or he is playing with DD, his sister, (2.4) and i tend to retort with something like, oh stop telling tales DS
i personally hate tell-tale behaviour in other DC and it annoys the hell out of me, one of my friends DC does it constantly over the most inconsequential things and i have to grit my teeth to not say anything
but how do you stop it? and obviously sometimes things happen that are more serious than "so and so snatched my toy" etc so sometimes us parents NEED to be told
i really don't know how to deal with it, sorry, i know its probably trivial but if he does it at school he could end up making himself rather unpopular with the others

AIBU?
To ask you all if you tell DC off for "telling tales" / "tit-taling" etc?
