Had my lovely friend visit this afternoon with her dd (10), I have two ds, ds1 is 9 and ds2 is 5 with ASD. Sometimes they come round and he is great. Today was a nightmare. He stropped about everything. He complained every time friend's dd tried to play with something, like his toy cars. There were several tussels where she wouldn't let go of something and he kicked off wanting it, it was literally everything she played with. She was understandably not happy and complained that he wouldn't share anything, which he wouldn't. It went on and on and we finally admitted defeat an hour ago and they have gone home now. Friend was fine and understanding, she said she has explained to her daughter about him but she doesn't understand really. It shows me just how mature my 9 year old is with him really, he often placates him and gives in for an easy life or distracts him out of it. It was just one of those days where nothing was going to improve. I'm sure I could have handled it better but sometimes, it would be nice to have a normal day with coffee and chats and no kick offs. I just wanted them to go home really so it would end which is a shame because we have a lovely time normally. Oh well, rant over, that's half term for you I guess.
