I'm a PP. Clearly she didn't want him near her, which is her right. She said so appropriately.

+1

I wish more adult women would feel safe enough to tell people to go away.

So what was he to do? Move because she said so? That wasn't going to happen. I would not allow it. If she didn't want to be near him, she should've moved. THAT is her right.

You set this up in your original post to sound like your son was pestering the girl, OP. You made it sound like she rejected an invitation. Now you're telling a different story. I think you're changing your story because you're not getting the sympathy you expected.

No her story was clear to me. You and pps wanted to twist this into a bizarre girl power moment.

Then she should not have joined the group with whom he was playing.

When my DD told me about this happening she and I decided she would stand up to the mean girl and tell her if Johnny couldn't play she would not play either.

She did it and it worked. Johnny could play with everyone. I was so proud of her.

I think it's incredibly disturbing that you're still fixating on this, what, 8 or 9 hours after it happened?

OP, right with you. Little kids can be animals. My daughter in the same situation has been taught to reply as follows:
"Young sir - I really mean no offense, and while I appreciate your desire to engage me in social activity, I would really prefer to galavant on my own if you please. Thank you for your consideration in this matter."
Take note, PPs who are bashing the OP.

Go back and re-read my post. Where did I imply my son was pestering this child? You're changing my story to justify this child's bratty behavior. It's no wonder we have so many rude, entitled young adults these days.

OP, are you new here? Jeff doesn't allow people to sock puppet.

OP, I think you are overracting a bit. These kids are 4 and 4 year olds are still learning social skills.

That you and your son are so bothere by this might mean you need to reflect on your own parenting a bit as in you need to dial it back.

Give your son the tools, for how to respond to a kid like that next time

Wrong. This happened shortly after 7pm. Our local library closes at 8. Nice try, though.

Your description of her telling him to "leave her alone" directly implies some interaction that he initiated.

Sigh. OP here. The post above did not come from me.
