difficult child 1 has a problem "sharing" friends with difficult child 2. difficult child 1 has MANY friends and difficult child 2 really doesn't. There is a boy in the neighborhood that was difficult child 2's friend for a couple years then he "got tired" of him & doesn't do anything with him anymore. difficult child 1 has now been friends with this boy since starting Boy Scouts this fall. difficult child 1 and this boy were hanging out today at our house. difficult child 2 stayed home all day to play his new Wii game. Friend started watching difficult child 2 play. difficult child 2 asked the boy if he wanted to spend the night. difficult child 1 got upset because he "hates having people spend the night because difficult child 2 & I embarrass him". HUH? difficult child 1 MUCH prefers to spend the night at other people's houses....ones with no bedtime & freedom to do almost anything they want (within reason). We don't have that here. My response was that difficult child 2 asked and it isn't difficult child 1's house so if I say it's okay, it's okay. Then difficult child 1 decides he wants to go see if some other kids can do anything "because I'm bored since friend is watching difficult child 2 play Wii". Ten minutes later friend asks where difficult child 1 is. I told him. I called difficult child 1 to tell him friend was looking for him and that is was rude to not tell him he was leaving since he's the one that asked friend over. difficult child 1 then calls friend to tell him he was mad at him because he was with difficult child 2. difficult child 1 does this alot with people they are BOTH friends with but it is okay for difficult child 1 to join difficult child 2 and his friends and difficult child 2 isn't "allowed" to get mad because "they're my friend too". This gets soooo frustrating. I feel bad for the friend when difficult child 1 does stuff like this.
Thanks for letting me vent.
