I invited Tim and Jon from preschool to come and play Sat afternoon with my DS4.
On the morning Tim's mother calls to say her son doesn't want to come because Jon will be there and he is too rough.
When Tim's mother came I just said that Jon wasn't too well and wouldn't be coming.
Well the play date was a battle of my ds and Jon arguing and fighting and it got so bad that I had to call Jon's Mum and ask could I bring him home. She was very apologetic and as my son is used to his older brother he gave as good back it wasn't completely one side.
My son didn't go to school he was ill yesterday. Jon's mum has obviously been worrying about it all weekend,plus her son told his friends at school including Tim who went on to tell his mother that he slapped my son accross the face.
Jon's mum phoned again to see if I hadn't told her the full story and I said I wasn't aware of it. She sounded relieved as Tims mother is headmistress of the school she wants her son to go to and she said it will be awful if she thinks my son is playground bully. If he is I want to deal with it.
The problem is she hasn't seen my sons face with all the deep scratches across his nose. ( Although other mothers have already commented).
She is aware that her son reacts too quickly but I don't know if she is aware of her sons reputation and that the headmistress of the school already has an opionion of her son.
Do I say anything or just stay well away
