[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly if my kid was being a little shit like those kids I would want to know. [/quote]
You’re the exception.[/quote]

I would want to know, too[/quote]

NP.  I have 7yo and 2yo DDs, and I absolutely would want to know, too.

I think another PP mentioned something along these lines, but this thread is yet another example of the lack of empathy in  people nowadays.  No wonder the world is such a mess.  Don't raise entitled, selfish jerks, please.

These days? Kids have had exclusionary “secret clubs” since forever. That doesn’t make it ok, but it’s certainly not new and it’s not a result of bad parenting. Telling the parents is fine, you don’t have to be mean about it: Sally, Larlo wants to play in the xyz thing, too. Would you please remind Mikey that we are all sharing it?[/quote]

I think if you see it you should just talk to the kid directly about it instead of asking the parents to "remind" their kid of something. I would not appreciate being talked to that way because it is infantilizing. But, if someone kindly reminds the kids in real time, that would be ok. It's all in the delivery.[/quote]
There are too many parents that don’t like other parents saying anything that might be considered parenting or disciplining. Even now on this site there’s someone complaining about a SIL disciplining their kid by saying things like this. I don’t think the word reminding is infantilizing, it’s an acknowledgement that of course the kid has been told and knows he’s supposed to share but has forgotten that fact at this moment and needs a reminder. Because he is a kid.[/quote]
