[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ask your parents: “Larlo is at an age where he’s curious about how the world works and what adults do. How would you like me to explain to him that uncle doesn’t work or go to school? What do you want me to tell him when he asks about how uncle spends his days?” [/quote] Again extremely rude and passive agressive. Larlo is not entitled to the particulars of why his uncle does not have a job. 1 in 10 prime age adults in this country don't have a job for a variety of reasons. Tell your kids there are many reasons why some adults don't have a job, those reasons are very personal and we don't pry unless the other person openly shares. Many people look and act in ways that are not typical, you don't put them on the spot. It's a lesson kids learn in kindergarten. [/quote] Then his uncle needs to manage the conversation. [b]Its not the moms job unless[/b] it was getting out of hand in which case she should be alerted but no mom needs to be on hand for every discussion over breakfast. It's actually the uncle who is passive aggressive. If he had been direct during this conversation no one else would need to be involved.[/quote] It's precisely her job to teach her son basic relational skills so that such conversations don't happen in the first place. [/quote] All these moms here who are blaming OP and the kid's rude manners---I'd like to see you react in the same way when your kid says or does something racist. I bet you will quickly turn into kids will be kids and i am uncomfortable teaching. MMMM hmmmm.[/quote] What a reach. The only person doing all of that is OP.... he's just curious! He doesn't understand how anyone can be different? [/quote] It's not a reach at all. Ableism and racism are very similar. And the same people who try to villify the 7 yr old and OP about the uncle will shy away from holding their kid accountable for other isms. [/quote] Sure. And i see the “not my baby” defensiveness as much more likely.[/quote]
