My ds (6) has a best friend at school who is really sweet. He comes over regularly and ds goes to his, also i get on well with the other childs mum too (incl going out on the razz )
With all this harmony i thought in a moment of stupidty that ds should broaden his group of friends .. (lesson learnt NEVER to dabble). So there was a little boy (who i will call C) who had been to ds's bdays and seemed similar personality - well behaved, kind etc. Decided to invite him for tea along with ds friend.
It was horrible. Started off bad when he grabbed my ds hand and pulled him across road - luckily no cars. Later this little boy picked up large playmobil castle and dashed it on the floor, stood up on chair several times throughout dinner, shouted at ds many times as wanted whatever ds was playing with and wouldnt play together. He wanted to take & keep ds's toys at end of playdate too. My ds best friend's little sister and mum had turned up and this other boy was being mean to the little girl (aged 2). I heard my ds saying 'dont be mean, she is only 2 - leave her alone' bless him, at which point we were alerted.
When his mum arrived and asked how everything was I lied and said it was fine. Then my ds was swinging a very small soft rubbery lizard by the tail, not near other people and she told him off.. tbh i was a bit taken aback, then her ds took it off my ds and proceeded to do the same thing at which point i intervened and put it out of reach.
Then at bedtime i found dsa had managed to cathch a visitor - thankfully only the 1 louse and tbh no idea which child if any of them he caught it from, but will let his teacher know tomorrow that nits are about.
Just annoyed and ranting.. soz everyone. but grrr
