[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry, OP. Some parents are confused about their role. This lady’s job is to teach her daughter resilience, not blame your son when her daughter is overly sensitive. I’d feel differently if your son were truly targeting her or doing something mean that crosses a line, but I believe you when you say he is not. He’s behaving like a typical 10 year old boy. They are not perfect. It seems like it’s a thing that 10 year old girls get hurt/horrified/offended over things that other boys would probably just brush off or laugh off. It’s hard for parents to see their child hurt, so maybe that’s why this other mom went all irrational mama bear on your son. I’d protect my son from her, personally. He doesn’t need her blame or toxicity. [/quote]

This woman isn’t confused. It’s one thing for the boys to be school friends, but she is right to avoid your son outside of school. He has admitted to repeatedly participating in teasing this girl. Why would she subject her daughter to your son outside of school?[/quote]

Then she should avoid him if she thinks he is to be avoided. She doesn’t need to rope OP into all of her inner thoughts and sensitivity. Op, your son actually sounds like a nice boy who is trying to navigate this and is being honest with you. Don’t let someone else’s crazy make you not have your son’s back. I’m sorry this may impact the friendship with the brother. That is a loss, but sometimes kids just have to be school friends if there are other extenuating circumstances. [/quote]
