DS is 7 ; we've just had his friend around for the morning - the same age.
Frankly I'm exhausted from sorting out their squabbles.
DS and his friend are good friends but this is the first time they've actually been at my home together.
They spent a long time setting up DS knights and warriors etc . All going well .
When it was actually time to play with them - ie. DS wanted to move the knights in to battle , his friend became very annoyed and insisted they can't be moved
He also wouldn't let DS move any of the arms / legs of the figures and became quite annoyed when DS insisted he wanted to play and move them.
There was no compromise at all and DS obviously became quite frustrated.
The boy eventually agreed to have his share of the figures static and DS was allowed to move his figures but there were so many rules about what could and couldn't be done , even I was exasperated!
This boy is lovely and polite but I'm a bit shocked at this .
My DS is any only child but I don't think this kind of "play" is normal.
I did mention to his mum that he became a little bit upset when playing but was generally ok and she didn't seem surprised but also didn't say anything
I'd love to have him back to play but I think we will leave the knights in the box !
