Just moved into a temporary scatter flat. Lots of kids about. There is a trampoline in the bottom garden that belongs to a little girl. For the last few days the little girl has allowed my children to play on it. However today, my son was playing on it with her and his sister and the little girl told him to get off it and he isn't allowed to play on it anymore. He wasn't doing anything wrong, I checked with his sister. So I have told my children I would rather none of them play on it and I will get one for them as my son was heart broken, he didn't understand what he had done and it's unfair. But I feel like I being unfair to my daughter by not letting her. Am I being unreasonable? Is there a better solution?

My daughter is how worried the little girl and her friends won't like her now.Sad

I wouldn't do anything.
There will be new "rules" tomorrow.

Whats a scatter flat?

Unless the behaviour continues I'd call it a one off kids being kids thing.

If she continues to exclude him then YANBU.

Well I guess the little girl can e friends with who she likes and have who she likes to play on her toys with her.
Can your son find his own friends?

A scatter flat refers to homeless accommodation.

Who owns the trampoline? Maybe the parent who owns it has heard that she will be liable if your children are injured whilst using the trampoline - sad but true.

Think I was being a tad unreasonable. Been through a really stressful time of late as have my kids and I just hate seeing any of them sad. They were all playing together again as kids do. Thanks for the replies. Oh and yes, scatter flat is the term given to temporary accommodation until you are permanently housed which can be any time but as long as 18 months.
