[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a good friend who has a child that is similar in age to my child. She is always scolding her child - behavior, eating, cleaning up, etc. Her parenting style is quite different from mine. She often threatens her child of consequences if he does not behave properly or finish his food. We are much more laid back with eating and cleaning up. We do not start yelling at our child for not finishing his food.

[b]She has made my child cry twice by threatening my child that he cannot play if he does not finish his food on his plate.[/b] My child rarely finishes his plate. I often give him a variety of food knowing that he will only take a few bites of 3 or the 4 different foods that I put on his plate. She will scold her child and scold my child at the same time for being loud. I do not scold my child for laughing too loud.

My friend is stressing out my child and my child seems to not have a good time being around them. I think my friend wants the children behave but she is ruining the play dates.

WWYD? Would you say something to her? Just stop hanging out?

I don't want to offend her. I rarely say anything to other children unless there is physical harm being done to another child. I mind my own business when it comes to eating. I don't know why she feels the need to yell at my child to finish his food.[/quote]

Not her business in any way or form.

One stern warning, then no contact where the children are involved. I'd have a hard time staying friends with her in the first place.[/quote]
