[quote=Anonymous]Nothing is wrong with us. My son has kids in the neighborhood he doesn't want to play with. He tells me that they are mean. DS's friends agree that said kid is mean. Should I make my kid play with someone they don't want to play with and just find a way to deal with the mean kid? There is a kid at the play ground that I see hitting kids and his parents. Should I insist that my kid play with that boy because my kid should be compassionate?

The OP's kids tried playing with the Grandson. It sounds like they tried on a variety of occasions. It didn't go well. The kids don't want to play with the Grandkid because he is disruptive, yells, insists on only playing what he wants to play, and seems to struggle with boundaries. Why should the kids have to play with the Grandkid? They tried and it didn't work.

So in your Utopia, the OPs kids should play games that they don't want to play to make the visiting kid happy. Never mind that the OP's kids don't want to play those games and don't like how the other kid behaves. Suck it up and entertain the one kid because that is being compassionate. Sacrifice what they want to do and play for two weeks so that one other kid is ok.
