[quote=Anonymous]You did nothing wrong, op. If one of my kids went to a birthday party and brought home favors the others were told that they may be able to play with the toy later but no they were not also getting a bag. If they were sad, oh well. The beautiful thing was that my kids started sharing with their sibling on their own—it was not something we pushed at all. Out of those situations, lessons in generosity and kindness were borne. I hate to say this, but that mom exemplifies why there are so many poorly behaved kids in school these days. Parents who bend over backwards to make sure their kids never feel sad or that things aren’t equal make kids who act up when school doesn’t accommodate their every feeling and need. I wouldn’t cut off the kid, it’s not the kid’s fault. But I would absolutely be clear with boundaries with that mom in the future. She’ll never be happy. [/quote]
