[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WTH people!?  It takes a village. It is perfectly fine to correct someone else’s children or instruct them politely in what’s expected in your home or some other setting. Parents who are not OK with this are raising spoiled entitled brats.  [b]We had friends over the other night and their 4 year olds went into our pantry and started getting food out[/b], Unpacking it, making a mess and helping themselves to it all over the kitchen counter.  The parents didn’t say anything so I did. Not a big deal, I didn’t shame them or yell at them, I just let them know that if they wanted something we would help them get it out and they could eat it at the table.  I have 3 kids and I hope that other adults will help them by guiding behavior if I’m not there to do it and they need a reminder.  [/quote]

This is a different situation.  You directly witnessed the bad behavior.  OP did not, and is going off of her child's report.[/quote]

OP here - and the aftercare workers' report, just to clarify.[/quote]

the aftercare worker reported to you that your child was excluded? was he indicating that you child did not take it well or was it an actual complaint about the other kids?

also just like you can't force kids to play together, you can't force the other mom to like you either. you seem to be more unhappy about the latter, just let it go, don't take it personally.  and btw, happens in all cultures.
