DS has a friend whose house he goes to fairly regularly and the friend also comes to ours. The mum has three boys.

As I picked DS up I went into the kitchen to have a quick chat and the mum proudly showed me her traffic lights behaviour system, with a picture of her sons. Poor behaviour is moved to red and good to green.

Fine - but my DS's picture was there as well, along with another one of their friends! Hmm

AIBU? I really didn't know what to say. DS is well behaved but even if he wasn't, I don't want him being moved to "red" - I'd like to be told myself!

Wouldn't bother me at all tbh. If I had the traffic light system I can bet my bottom dollar that dd would insist her friends be on it otherwise it wouldn't be fair.

Wouldn't bother me.

If he's there and misbehaving with one of her dc then surely it's better if they both get moved to red. I'd have thought telling you would be much worse for a child to go through, would for my dc anyway.
