Ds2 is 9, but a young 9. He is a very sociable guy, gets on great at school and teachers often remark that he is very considerate of his classmates and popular with both boys and girls. TBH girls are so far off his radar, he only ever has boys over to play, is football and rugby crazy, so fairly typical boy!
Dc got their hols on Tuesday, and that evening I got an e-card which was addressed to DS2 from a girl in his class, it said
'Hope you like the card, and me, love C' I said look Ds2 you got a card from C, he said , oh that's nice then went back out to the garden, pretty non-plussed.
I replied to her, saying thanks for the card, it was very nice of you to send it, hope you have a lovely holiday, from DS2's mum.
I thought no more about it, then this morning there was another, which said 'If you like the card then you have to like me. If not you get to decide, love C.
Then tonight another which said 'Do not say you do not like me because I really really like you'
Eeeeck!
I casually asked Ds2 about her after I got the second one, he says she is a very quite little girl, quite shy, an only child. Ds says a lot of the girls avoid her, but he doesn't know why as he thinks she's 'ok'.
What should I do - I don't want to upset her or hurt her feelings, but I think that's all a bit ott for 8/9 year olds. DS2 would be totally bemused if I told him what she was writing!
Help!
