[quote=Anonymous]No. This is a situation where you have to first analyze what you think you are trying to achieve by telling the parent, and weigh if it is worth it to either stress out (for the average concerned parent) or anger (for defensive arenas) the other parent. Three possibilities: 1. The bad behavior is part of a pattern, so the parent is aware and concerned and already working on it. You telling them will not change how hard they’re trying to fix the problem. 2. The bad behavior is part of a pattern, so the parent is aware but doesn’t care. You telling them will not change that they’re not trying to fix the problem. 3. The bad behavior is a one off. You telling them is unlikely to change anything since there’s likely nothing to fix. Then give the kid and parent a break and don’t escalate and make things weird. Point is, you’re not going to help or fix anything by telling in any of these scenarios. Let it go. [/quote]
