[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m guessing you’ll be dealing with this multiple times a year if you don’t sort it out right now.

I’d go over and tell them firmly that if the kid annoys you again by knocking on the door to ask something irrelevant or entering your home uninvited or interrupting your kids game, you will instruct your kids to not talk to him or play with him at all.

Tell the grandparents that the boy clearly needs a lot more supervision than other kids his age because he doesn’t play in a typical way and that the grandparents can’t just send him out to play with the others anymore, they need to mind him themselves.

I can just see the grandparents reporting back to the parents that everything was great, he was out playing with neighborhood kids all day every day, kid had a ball, and the kid will be there again before you know it. [/quote]

:roll: Let me guess. You’re a “but it takes a village!” person.

There’s no reason why OP and her kids should need to babysit him. The grandparents signed up for it, they can’t just arrogantly wash their hands of him and make him the whole neighborhood’s problem.

I was mildly sympathetic until they laughed off OP’s concerns. Not okay.[/quote]
