[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 84372, member: 1722"] I have to agree completely with SRL. by the way, the other child of which you post could very well be one of our children on this board. I'd personally appreciate it if you were to proceed in a much more compassionate and respectful manner. Not one of us here asked to have disordered or difficult children. I, for one, was offended by the following: "I WILL NOT have my child exposed to this type of irreverant behavior. Any ideas on how I should approach the parents? For my child's sake I can end my friendship with them in a blink of an eye. How do I tell them that I don't think our children should play together anymore? " Trust me, if they were to read this, they'd dump your friendship in a blink of an eye. "Crapping in the tub with another child in it is about the most disgusting thing that can be done. The parents know their kid has a problem... Don't insinuate that it is a problem with mine." No one has insinuated that the problem is with your son. But it may be with YOU. If this friendship is too much for you to maintain, I'd suggest dropping it because I doubt these parents are staying up at night worrying about poor little ole you. They are probably worried sick about their son. You are right about this: "Either way, my job is to protect my son from any and all comers. Their issue is not mine to solve. " Just remember, that's also their job in regard to you. [/QUOTE]
