[quote=Anonymous]This goes both ways. I have a friend who is totally hysterical about everything when our 3yo boys are playing together. They can't do anything that boys normally do - roughhouse/wrestle, play loudly with trucks/cars, etc without her CONSTANTLY correcting them both. It is so annoying - and several times recently I have told her that they are boys and that this is how boys behave, and that unless one of them is hurt or we catch them doing something inappropriate we can't "micro-manage" their play. Boys will be boys, and occasionally someone will get hurt. You deal with it then and let them try to work things out on their own as much as possible. You don't shriek at them like hovering harpies constantly through two hours of play. It's fucking exhausting being around someone like this. I love my friend, and I'm hoping she'll chill the fuck out once her new baby is born. But in the meantime, I'm gritting my teeth a lot and limiting playdates a bit.[/quote]
