my son is 4 and adores his ‘big’ cousin who is 5 nearly 6
not really a cousin if it makes any difference. He’s my DP’s cousin’s son. Anyway we see them at Christmas and about 3/4 other times of the year.
they are all very nice people and I’m happy to spend time with them but it is a matter of fact that they have much more money than us.
the boy, let’s call him Tim, tells my son (and the rest of us) that he had a bigger house, more toys, bigger better flashier Christmas tree etc on a regular basis. It’s true and he doesn’t necessarily say it with great malice, but it annoys me, and I’m wondering how I coach my son with this challenge especially as the years go by and he gets older and more conscious of it
so yeah let me have your smart alek come backs!! But also, how to help my son deal with people belittling his stuff and describing much better stuff??!!!!!!
