[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amazing to me how many of these posts just automatically assume bad intent on behalf of the other family. Maybe, just maybe, they want to hear what you're hearing from your kid and understand it so that they can validate where their kid is creating an issue vs. responding to provocation, and doing so with an open mind, so they can better engage their own kid and provide appropriate guidance for them? And maybe just maybe your own precious angel is subtly provoking the other child with dirty looks or exclusionary behaviors?

I mean, that's what I'd do. Sure, I'd be ready to acknowledge that my child may have behavioral issues to address, but I also wouldn't just take the school's/other parent's feedback at gospel truth... "Oh, someone else said my kid is doing X? Well that must be the WHOLE story, thanks!" So yeah, if I had an opportunity to meet with the other family for an ongoing issue like this, I'd do so... and try to work constructively with them and the school to help resolve it, not just for this instance, but so that it doesn't become a recurring pattern/theme next year and beyond.

And someone even said to bring a lawyer? WTAF is wrong with you people?[/quote]

The OP owes nothing to the other family. Bad intent or not. Why do you want the OP to do them favors? You are a damn fool. [/quote]

yep. and these events are happening at school - it’s the school that has insight into what’s happening, not the parents. [/quote]
