[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you expect an 8 year old to regularly play with (and amuse for you) a cognitively impaired 4 year old? And you can't understand why she'd find that frustrating? It sounds like she didn't sign up to be your child's babysitter.

Being mean is not nice, but asking to not need to sit next to "the baby" and entertain him for yet another entire adult dinner party is not really being mean.

I'd make sure you amuse your own child in future, and bring things for him to do so he isn't everyone else's problem. If she's rude then, you can reprimand her.[/quote]

I have 8 and 10yo kids and many of my friends’ kids are younger. My boys often play without the younger ones without being mean to them.

If my kids rudely said something hurtful to a child, any child, I would correct them on the stop and they would be spoken to later.

And if there was a special needs child, I would tell my children to be extra nice and inclusive.

It sounds like you think the mean child’s behavior is acceptable, which it is not.[/quote]
