Hi all, I'm hoping someone can offer me some advice as I'm driving by stuff crazy over this.
I have 3 year old son and my next door neighbour has a 1 year old son. For Ivey a year now we've been great mates, catching up pretty much every week.
All was well until her and her husband knocked on my door the other night to 'discuss my sons behaviour'. They said that they thought that my son was too aggressive to be playing with their little boy and gave me some examples of times where my son has shouted at their son or snatched a toy off him. I was stunned as this has never been brought up until now and that was the extent of it. He's never done anything like hit or kick or bite. Just shouted at him and to be fair it's usually if their son has done something like pull his hair... Fair enough in my opinion! They then said that they were telling me this so that I can 'nip it in the bud'. I find this extremely insulting as it insinuates that he's doing something and I'm not aware of it. He's never left alone with their son and I will always call it a day if he's getting too wound up. I feel really angry at myself fpr not stepping up and saying that most of his behaviour is pretty typical for a three year old and they need to toughen up! I was so taken aback I just sort of stood there and took it. What would you guys do? Do I go and confront them and put my side across? It's driving be mad!!!! TIA X X X X
