[quote=Anonymous]My X is very egocentric, maybe not to the same extreme as your X, but not great for our child. When I see situations unfold that I suspect are becoming stressful for our child, I try to model for him with stuffed animals retorts and ways the animals can resolve the situation. For instance, my X constantly wanted our child to "pick" whose house/car/toys are better. I'd have one stuffed animal saying "my house is so cool, i have a fish" and another stuffed animal saying "my house has a dog and fish are stupid. dogs are furry. they are much cooler." and they'd be trying to persuade their friend "to come see the fish" or "come pet the dog". and i'd have the friend say "i don't have to pick. i can see you both, just not at the same time" or "i like both of you". I feel genuinely terrible that a child is being put into these situations, but all you can do it keep it light and try to give your child skills for coping.[/quote]
