[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone is saying that the ds should be resilient and realize that sometimes plans change. Well, maybe his mom needs to realize that sometimes plans change and OP may want to spend a day with her family if their plans get canceled. Fair is fair[/quote] Yes, of course.  No one in this thread has said otherwise. And OP has not indicated that her friend would have a problem if she cancelled. [/quote]

This is OP. She would absolutely be pissed if I canceled.[/quote]

Well it does sound like there are two separate sets of plans here so I get her point. And I think she’s doing the right thing by addressing her child’s unacceptable behavior.

I guess you have to decide whether it’s worth the hit to your friendship and the friendship between your son and hers which is the likely outcome if you cancel. Might not be because sounds like it would hurt your son who has few friends a lot more than anyone else.

This is OP. I guess there is more to this story because I feel like this woman always treats my family like we are an option and not a priority. I will genuinely be upset if these plans cancel. I really won’t feel like spending the day with her. My son has a couple good friends. I’d like him to build more friendships, but not with people who discount him or his feelings. I think we teach people how to treat us by what we tolerate from them. [/quote]

But the friendship is with the kid and not the mom and the mom is deciding the punishment. In the end though you sound like ending the friendship is fine, and that’s ok. [/quote]
