[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find your dynamic very, very odd.

You throw a fit because toys are on the floor of the playroom.

You'd rather play the martyr than have the offender take responsibility, own his offense, and clean it up.

Your own child is in tears because he knows what is coming from you -- very, very telling.

You sound like a nightmare, OP.  Playrooms get dirty.  Toys get taken out.  It's not "trashing the playroom."  It's having a good time.  Set a time limit on fun next time.  And get an idea about why you would rather be passive aggressive than actually get what you want -- the kids cleaning up.  Your martyr act is way, way, old.  Like 1960's old.

NP here.  This response says more about your biases than the OP.  And also indicates you don't read carefully. OP's child could very well be upset with the other child for making the mess, not out of fear of mom.  And if it were that messy, I wouldn't trust the other kid to clean it.  I'd just want them out.  No martyrs here.

The odd dynamic is yours.[/quote]
