[quote=Anonymous]Our neighbors are watching their grandson9 for a couple weeks. We love our neighbors, but I think they bit off a bit more than they can chew. The boy is a lot. Our kids aren’t interested in playing with him. Every day, he comes over pounding on our door to play. One day, he even just barged right through our garage and into our back door. I believe, though I am not entirely sure, that he may be SN. He doesn’t interact properly with any of the kids on the block, and doesn’t take social cues. For example, the kids were playing a water football game, and this boy didn’t want to play. He essentially poured and tried to intercept and throw the ball across the street so the game couldn’t continue, shouting “I hate football. I don’t want to play. Can we play something else.” The kids were annoyed after that and don’t want to include him anymore. He also just wanders around, knocking on our door wall when everyone is outside to ask me if I will make everyone play what he wants to play.

The wandering in to our house was the last straw, and I talked to grandma. She brushed it off and just thought it was funny. She jokingly told him he can’t do that, and he said he just wanted to play with our kids, and grandma just laughed. I got nowhere. Now the kids want to lock themselves inside every day because they don’t want to deal with this kid. I feel awful. They really tried to include him, but it didn’t work out at all.

What do you all suggest we do, without hurting the neighbors feelings? [/quote]
