[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people are being a bit harsh on OP. She waited a full 2 years to introduce the BF - this is a stable relationship and she obviously was trying to protect her kid. Although the playground didn’t work, a casual 1 hour meetup on a child’s familiar turf doesn’t seem THAT crazy of a plan to me.

She does sound a little clueless in envisioning a Hallmark scenario but if her son was really dysregulated then I think she deserves some more thoughtful advice on how to move forward.

I guess the important thing now is how well OP and her BF can “differentiate” from the boy’s behavior. That is - not take it personally and accept it instead of reacting to it emotionally as a personal offense. [/quote]

+1. OP it may take some time for your kid to warm up to your BF. BF is going to have to not take the behavior personally. The next time the three of you do something I would tell your son expectations (like responding to questions, using nice words, etc.). Like you would expect him to behave with anybody new he was meeting. They may never be close, but it is not too much to expect your son to be polite. [/quote]
