[QUOTE="cutedimples, post: 161734, member: 5375"] (I've emailed the site moderator, thanks for the advice) J was [I]always[/I] at their place; in fact, we felt guilty because it felt like free babysitting. I offered continually to have them down here but it always ended up that way. So it was unsupervised by me. We spoke a few times about how he behaves when there is more than one child present (not well at all) and so I knew that she had witnessed him in all his glory. When she called she said that when he gets that way he just doesn't listen to them and there have been a couple "dangerous" situations. I totally understand her request and don't feel anything except sorry that she had to deal with it, but she did say that maybe later we could get together just the two of them and the two of us and have supervised time together. I wasn't sure if she was throwing me a bone or not, but I guess that's why I felt that maybe a note wasn't entirely out of order. She is a patient and kind person, so I know she probably put up with a lot from him before it came to this. All the postings I've read here, and everything I've read about playdates with difficult children says to have the playdate be at your place, short periods of time, and one friend at a time. But J is 7 and wants to roam the neighborhood so that is getting more and more difficult! [/QUOTE]
