I WANT TO KNOW IF IM OVERREACTING
So yesterday my son wanted to play outside with the next door neighbor kids
There’s two older girls must be 6 & 7 or older .
they have a little brother that’s 3 same age as my son . So long story short
My son had some snacks those little yogurt bites
And some dried coconut.
My son is so nice so he shared with them and I love that! But I noticed that the girls thought I wasn’t looking and they would sneak their hands in the bag And when I would “look” they would ask me if they can have some! Well the little brother took the bag from my son I think he thought it was his . I had to take it from him .
And then after they almost ate all my sons snacks!
They went into their house and got some lunchables
And they stayed on their side of the front yard like they didn’t want to share with my son . So he would go to them and ask if he could have some and they refused to share with him after eating almost all his snacks!
Then my son had his iPad and they had a tablet
My sons iPad had more games ,wifi and he could watch YouTube. They couldn’t do that on their tablet they only had a few games.
So AGAIN my son shared his iPad and would let them play and when they thought I wasn’t looking they would snatch it from him! And give it back when I would look at them! Because my son would cry!
Then my son reached over to grab her tablet since she had his iPad and she AGAIN refused to share with him!
AS A MOTHER WATCHING THIS MADE ME UPSET AND IT HURT MY FEELINGS BECAUSE MY SON SHARES HIS TOYS WITH THEM AND HE IS SO NICE TO EVERYONE AND FOR THEM TO KIND OF TAKE ADVANTAGE MADE ME UPSET SO I TOOK HIM INSIDE!
My son doesn’t understand that when you have friends is a two way street! You share with me I share with you!
Friends that TAKE TAKE TAKE are not really friends so I can’t teach him that because he won’t understand yet so I just removed him from that situation. Should I let them play with them again?
AM I OVERREACTING ? WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
@colorfuldreams, that’s how I feel . I haven’t let them play together after that
@makeupbyyazx, I would be so annoyed, it would make me not want to let my child play with them. Just for the sake of not wanting my kid to learn bad habits and start to not share because the other kids don’t
That would upset me to, I would tell the other kids. Don’t take my sons stuff if your not going to share it’s rude.
So annoying when the kids your child plays with are not taught to share, only take 😢
I help my mom baby sit and that would happen sometimes. My mom would take the toy or whatever the other kid took and say no you have to share and slowly teach the other one to share back.
@makeupbyyazx, nope girl you ain’t over reacting your under reacting I wouldn’t let my kid play with them again and I would of also told those kids to share cause your son shared!! Nope don’t mess with my kids
Both of my kids share, my son is eperiencing the same thing with other kids taking advantage. I just keep an eye on things i remind the other kids to be nice when i feel like its getting to be to much. My son just wants to play and will give away his toys and be empty handed he will just sit and watch them play lol cant do much about the other kids.
No your right that's sad of them kids to do that very wrong and I'm happy u took him inside before they hurt his feeling
@makeupbyyazx, he’s not at that age. My youngest is 8 and she still shares when people don’t share with her because that’s the nice thing to do. I’ve got to break her from that shit.
@damn.it.red, My son is starting to stand up for himself, and he says no that’s yours and this is mine. Yesterday when I explained to him that you don’t share with kids that don’t share with you, I don’t think he understood.
@makeupbyyazx, at that age you can teach him to share. And be kind. My daughter is at the age where people are taking advantage of her at school and I notice it because I work there and I told her to tell them NO. and if they get mad tell them momma said I couldn’t. Ain’t no little brat running over my child.
@damn.it.red, yea that’s what I thought .
And I don’t want to teach my son to be greedy but also don’t want other kids to take advantage of him
@makeupbyyazx, good, those butthead kids can get nothing 😂
