[quote=Anonymous]I think its a good teaching moment for your child. You will always run into people in life who make different choices; accepting that and making the choice that is right for you or for your family instead of what is "fair" is the most valuable lesson. I would just reiterate "We don't take toys from our friends at our house, if you cannot share this toy, I'll have to put it away." "We don't throw toys at our friends in our house. You're obviously feeling grumpy. Let's reschedule our play date for a day you feel better. Thanks for coming!!" When you're on neutral territory, just explain to your DD that your family doesn't do X,Y,Z behavior that Amy's child is engaging in. If she gets too far out of control, I'd use the "let's reschedule when you're feeling less grumpy/tired whatever" line and end the play date, while keeping a positive tone. You can train mom and her DD while using it as a good lesson for your DD.[/quote]
