[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.   Thanks for the advice.
To answer a PP, I think the reason it bothers me so much is because my son is so sweet and earnest about wanting to develop this friendship.  He tells me how they like the same books and same movies and reports to me what they did together during the day.  The kid has three older siblings at the school and is the child of a faculty member -- so I think my son sees him as super cool for those reasons too -- he seems to know everyone and everything and my son (new to the school this year) seems to look up to him.  And he IS a very sweet kid in all interactions I have had with him.

You are right, I just need to redirect him and forget about it.  Perhaps the mom is just really busy with the three older siblings.  (To answer another PP, she is very nice -- I don't think it's that she doesn't like us, but who knows.)

I'm the PP who asked why this bothered you and I can totally relate!  I feel the same way sometimes, but I think kids are a bit more resilient than we give them credit for!  Don't bad mouth the kid or his mom.  Don't make your DD feel victimized.  (not that you would, just saying.....)  Let him move on.  He'll be fine![/quote]
