to tell this mother that her angelic DS is not so angelic afterall!

[JollyJanet]

Please bear with me, I'm rather new.

My son has a friend, a 7 year old boy. His mother thinks he's an angel, I know otherwise but I'm not sure how to broach the subject with his mother.

He plays round our house often, we have a lovely John Lewis toy kitchen, I don't really like the kiddies to touch it but I let them today. When I went down to the play room this little boy was 'cooking' my daughters, darling toy cat, I said no and removed the cat. I left and pottered around for a while then brought them both a snack, this little 'bleep' had started 'cooking' the cat again!! Once again I said no and removed it, anyway cutting a long story short, he did this no less than 5 times in the end!

How do I tell his mother and if I do, what on Earth would I say? My husband told me not to worry, but quite frankly his behaviour shocked and disturbed me.

This is strange OP. Is there something that maybe we are not getting?

15 year old masturbating?? not near a john lewis kitchen i hope .

Thought OP was going to say kid was hideously behaved/bullying/swearing or the like. Instead he was just...playing
jog on.

This reminds me of when I first started working at ELC. I built up the display dolls house and added all the little extra roomsets and set up the family in cute poses.
Pretty much had a heart attack everytime a child went near it, I would be hovering nearby, ready to fix it when the child had gone.

pretending to cook a toy cat doesn't sound like much of an issue to me tbh

I think it is weird though that you have a toy kitchen that is not to be played with

Unless there is more to this that you are not letting on I think his mum will find you quite odd for raising this as a big concern as tbh the child's behaviour seems more normal to me than does yours!

i suppose i just worry he'll attempt it with a real cat and a real kitchen next time.

Let's just hope the cat runs away or gives him a good scratching for his trouble.
You do WORRY too much!
Now if he was using the toy tools to drill the cat's head or chop it's head off, then that's the time to go....

Ahhh you think he can't distinguish between play and real life. But like others have said you should be encouraging their imagination not stamping on it.

He's not going to try to cook real animals on a real cooker.

I do not understand this thread.

oh dear, on this basis I'm anticipating my dd holding someones PFB and getting bored so dropping it on its head, poisoning us all when 'cooking' supper by stirring together whatever she happens to find on the floor in a pan and offering to breastfeed the nearest pet dog

my mum cooked my mouse in the midday sun when I was 5, my husband thinks my fear stems for that.

That sounds awful about the mouse Jolly, what happened?

And of course you should always be careful about transferring your fears onto your DC, and indeed their friends

Well my mum squashed a sparrow with a brick 'to put it out of it's misery' Now that is traumatic as she did it right in front of me when I was 6yrs old.

My DS puts pillows over his dolls faces. What a devil child I have!

she said it looked sick and that the sun would perk it up, except it was August and 11am.

Perhaps you could get some of these to protect your toys. I'm curious as to which high days and holidays the cooker come out on.

KurriKurri!

everyday over Easter Kurri, we like to cook a lot at Easter.

I thought high days were saints days and the like. Are you from days gone by OP?

I'm sorry, I get so consumed with when I see the word "playroom" the rest of this implausible story has sort of swept over me

What sad little lives your kids must have if you buy them toys and then don't let them play with them!!!

DS often tries to shoot DD with a toy gun - should I be worried that he is going to do it for real - better check the lock on the gun cupboard or risk coming home to a bloodbath next time I nip to the corner shop!!!

I would tell the little bleep that it is much quicker to cook a cat in the microwave too.

I agree with all of the above, It really upsets me when people have toys out that children can not play with, also maybe you taking the toy away from the boy 5 times was a bit much, he was a guest in your house so really you should have made him feel welcome, not strange... to be honest if i was the mother of this child and you told me what had 'happened' i would think it is a joke, then think you are slightly odd and make sure that my son never came to play at your house again... I do not mean to be offensive but seriously?
