[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You let this go. And if you must consider ruminating on it, consider- 1. Have you ever used anything about another child as a comparison or example to demonstrate something to your kid? Another child spends too much time on their phone? Another child is behaving like a poor sport? Another child procrastinated on a project and it came back to bite them? 2. Really, have you ever said anything less than flattering about another child to your own? The clothes they wear? Their manners? The way they treated a friend? 3. Do you really think you are getting an accurate picture of what was actually said by this dad third hand from your own children, filtered through another child? And then try again to let it go.[/quote] Agree with above. This is a pot-kettle situation. My family tends to be a bit flip and what we say at home should not be shared outward by our kids. The fault here is with the cutting commentary (bad parental role modeling) coupled with the lack of discretion by the 14 y.o. son. Yes, those both show bad judgment. But they aren't very unusual situations. If you confront, it won't change the dad's opinion. As you know, demonstrated AP performance did. And confrontation could cause a rift between friends. I would drop the idea of a big confrontation.[/quote]
