my five year old has a friend who he is quite close to i suppose. i am friendly with his mum but only because of the boys, we have little in common otherwise.
i've been feeling a little uneasy about their friendship for a while- this boy brings out the worst in ds. without this boy my ds is quite mature and sensible and a nice kid. when they get together he can get quite wild and cheekier etc.
anyway, they are allowed to take a small toy in to school to play with at break, and this kid keeps borrowing ds's toys, and several times has returned them broken.this really winds me up. today ds took a new and so favourite action figure in,only to have his friend borrow it. when i questioned him about why he had lent it,he said that this boy said if he didn't, he could never come to his birthday parties again.
this smacks to me of bullying and i don't know what to do. i don't know whether to talk to his mum or not. what would you all do?
