[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 168182, member: 1991"] I think the level of frankness from girlfriend is very refreshing. As long as GFGII doesn't feel a comment like that is a put-down, then i would welcome the honesty in it. As for the kid - Not necessarily a difficult child in terms of having something inherently wrong, but it sounds to me like parenting COULD be an issue - the mother should have been watching more closely, especially after the first incident, then the second, by which time she should have realised the kid was determined to cause mischief. Sounds to me like the kid was bored and trying to entertain himself. Young bored kids gravitate to other kids especially, because they feel there is more scope for entertainment. As for giving you the finger, mooning etc - how did he get the chance to have the time to pull down his trousers? If his mother was watching (as she certainly should have been by then) he should have been whisked away well before he got the waistband down more than an inch or so. And where did he get the idea from? And those signals? Some parents (especially some mothers) seem to use parties, public events etc as a handy excuse to let their kids do what they want. It's like they take a break from parenting so they can enjoy themselves. They only will intervene if their kid is risking injury. I've had the occasional parent like this visiting us. They never visit twice. Maybe the kid is a difficult child, or maybe the kid is simply allowed to do what he wants when the family is on an outing. Sometimes it's impossible to tell. Marg [/QUOTE]
