to be irritated by people who don't let their children learn they can't have their own way all the time?

little girl at ds' preschool, could be described as a little madam, cannot bear to not be the centre of attention, if two children are playing and she's not part of their game she will run to her mother sobbing, and I mean sobbing, that no-one wants to play with her, and mum will then make the other children play. no-one is allowed to play with her best friend, if they do, again she will sob to mum and mum tells best friend to come and play with her. If three of us are in park and one asks to go on swings, girl's mum will say no because her dd won't like it and it wouldn't be fair to her. If children are playing a game and another child wins then other girl will sob and it must be engineered that she wins instead. and so it goes on. I know the mum quite well and I have never heard her say no too this child.

Obviously would never say anything but can't help being really irritated by this, surely this child has a tough time ahead of her at school when she doesn't always get her own way?
