Hi
I know I am probably being silly but I cannot help but feel bad for my ds on this.
He is 7 and has always played on and off with the girl next door who is 8.
Recently a boy of 10 from around the corner befriended my ds and played with him for some time and then the girl from next door started playing with the two of them as well.
This didn,t work too badly at first but now it seems that this boy and the girl from next door are now becoming best pals and are not bothering with my ds any more and just go off together without calling for my ds as before.
I feel really bad about this for my ds's sake as he so badly wants to play with them.
I know I may be partly responsible as I have put certian restrictions on my ds such as I will not let him wonder around in the dark and go out on his bike once it gets dark.
However these other two children are allowed to do this and do wonder more.
They do however I feel have more maturity for dealing with roads etc than my ds although I would hate to feel I am doing my ds a great injustice on that.
I do think this may be a case of twos comapny and threes a crowd.
Has anybody ever found this that once a third person has come onto the scene that their dc has been pushed out.
Please tell me I am being silly on this.
