I got a text from a friend this afternoon asking if she could come over as "she was supposed to be writing job applications but her son wanted to play with his friends." She came over and my two boys (3 and 2) were playing with her 3 year old son. The two 3 year olds found some cobwebs in the garden and were putting them on each other. Her son decided he didn't like the game and demanded his son tell my son off for putting cobwebs in him. I expected her to do nothing but she did as he asked. I refrained from saying anything to keep the peace. Throughout the afternoon he continued to try to get me to tell off my son about various other unimportant things like my son getting a drink, a piece of bread off the table etc. My friend seemed less than impressed that I didn't respond to these demands and my response to her son of "I don't listen to tell tales".
Writing this down it seems very trivial but it got me annoyed and with my husband working away during the week I've no one else to vent at.
