[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the pps saying beans are a stupid think to have with 2 year olds, the other kids didn't seem to have the same issue as ops kid.

This seems to boil down to the fact that ops kid needs to be told multiple times not to do something and the other kids don't. Perhaps you can throw in a little bit about op not paying attention or excusing her kids behavior so the other mom has to step in.

Kids like OP's kid can be tiring for parents who have kids who are more calm/whose behavior can be corrected easier.

The other mom doesn't sound mean or wrong, she just seems a bit annoyed.

Op's kid isn't wrong or even that poorly behaved (she's so young!) But OP does seem a bit naive and it's likely her behavior that is annoying the host mom so much!

It could be that Op's kid is 2yrs1mo  and the host's kid is 2yers9mo old.  It makes a big difference.  Also some kids simply mature later than other kids do.

If the other kids in the room were all playing nicely with the bean table and the Op's kid was the only one dumping beans on the floor even after being told "No", then Op should have picked her kid up and taken him out of there.  [b]Or the host could have simply put the bean table away and found the kids something else to do....[/b][/quote]

The fact that this is an ongoing issue between OP and this other mom and that OP didn't even consider doing anything more than telling her kid "no, don't do that" (i.e. redirect, remove from the situation, etc) tells me that this mom is likely sick of OP not doing anything to curb her kids behavior.  Everyone else is getting along fine except OPs kid because OP won't do anything.  I wouldn't be inclined to remove something the other kids were enjoying in that circumstance, either.  [/quote]

I don't know how often this has happened.  All I can say is that if I put a sand table in the middle of my living room and then get fired up into a tizzy because a 2 year old has gotten sand onto my carpet...the issue is not the 2 year old.[/quote]

The host didn't get pissy because the beans got thrown.  All the other kids threw the beans and responded when corrected thus the host didn't get aggravated.  The host got aggravated because OPs kid KEPT DOING IT then OP didn't step in and actually do anything to stop it.

[b]The host doesn't dislike the kid, they dislike OP.[/b][/quote]
