[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have a kid who is impulsive and from my perspective, the other moms know whether their kid needs extra supervision.  Mine isn't a biter, but he'll push or shove or throw a toy if he's frustrated and can't express himself.  From my perspective, I'm not thinking that the other mom should jump in, but thinking "I hope she sees that I'm jumping in to stop my kid" Each mom is probably just thinking about their own kid and how he or she is playing and if it's appropriate.  OTOH, after several incidents at one playdate, I'll start to wonder why you automatically assume my child is the instigator and the one always to blame.  Like the other pp's have said, we all don't hear the situation and your child might be doing something to provoke the situation.

My advice is to make sure you don't come across as if your child is blameless and I have to always reprimand/intervene on behalf of my child.  If you want the kids to work it out themselves, then say something to me that lets me know you aren't secretly thinking my kid's an ass with behavior issues and you're DD's an angel. [/quote]
