[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SN mom here. No need to cut things off forever, and definitely don't try to armchair diagnose. Just explain that while you love him, the last few playdates have been too much with him not following the house rules and your directions well, and you being distracted with your other kids, so you need to take a break from hosting for now. If you can suggest an alternative, like meeting at a playground every so often, that would be nice. And P.S. to the PP - [b]labeling bratty is useless and judgmental.[/b] [b]Kids don't set out to disappoint grownups, and if they're doing that it means they need more help and support from the grownup.[/b] [/quote] True, but this isn't her kid, and while an SN kid might need more help and support from the grownups around him/her, that doesn't mean OP is obligated to volunteer herself to provide this extra time and support for someone else's kid. It's OK if OP just doesn't want to do this. [/quote]
