[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had one kid over for a playdate who had impulse issues, was a liar, etc.

I told my 1st grade kid there was one non-negotiable.  The door to the master bedroom was to remain closed and off-limits.  It was messy and there were grownup things I didn't want the child to have access to (coin tray, paperwork, etc.).

Within the first hour, I caught my son and his friend running through the room on their way into the master bath for no good reason.  Those two spaces are self-contained and didn't need to be visited by the kids.

That was it for playdates with that kid at our house.[/quote]

So you blamed the other child and not yours[/quote]

It was clearly led by the other child.  I heard who was in the lead running across the floor from voices.  And I saw who was in front running when I immediately went upstairs after them and caught them going into the bathroom.  He just busted through a closed door because he had no manners and no restraint.

A year later, this kid, for no reason, while in art class at school, quickly grabbed the front of my child's shirt and used scissors to cut off the gathered fabric.  Made a 1.5" hole in the shirt.

This kid in kindergarten also told my kid he was dying of stomach cancer. And my kid believed this sustained lie and was terribly sorry for him.  It turned out a household pet was sick and the kid decided to appropriate the story.

I really had no sympathy for this kid.

My kid's punishment was no more playdates at our house with this kid.  So he did "get blamed" or "experience consequences" depending on how you frame it.

They were in aftercare together so it's not like there was a ban on seeing each other.  [/quote]
