[QUOTE="SRL, post: 84290, member: 701"] Like the poster above, I'm having difficulty in understanding your comments. This is generally a very helpful group and I suggest that you give the posters the benefit of the doubt. You can count on the fact that posting here will yield a variety of answers and if you don't agree with the advice then simply disregard it. There's certainly no need to meet other posters with attitude simply because they see things in a different light or don't agree with you. I know that you were disturbed by what happened to your son (and many of us here would be), but before you declare outright that pooping in the tub with another child it in is about the most disgusting thing that can happen you might want to get to know us a bit. I promise you, there are far, far more horrific things that can happen to children in this world...and parents of children who've been through those things are part of this community. Throughout your parenting career you will be faced with situations where you don't approve of behaviors that your child's peers exhibit, and at those times you will be faced with the decision whether to let it go, confront the child, or confront the parent. If you feel strongly that you need to confront this directly with the parent then I suggest the following: 1) Stick to the immediate situation--your children bathing together, BM sitution. Inform her of what your child reported and what you have decided to do in light of that. I'd venture a guess that mom will act surprised but I'm pretty sure she has plenty of knowledge of what's going on. 2) Don't bring up various other situations which involve other children, especially since you noted above that other parents have already called. 3) Focus on your son and his/your discomfort level and not on the behaviors of the other boy. 4) Expect a cool reception from the boy's mother.
