[QUOTE="ML, post: 228380"] Some of you may remember that last year manster told me that a friend of his at school, "N", told him about his friend who cut herself and that he thought it was somehow "cool". So manster, always the impressionable one, was obsessed by this and curious. One day he went outside and scraped his knuckles with a rock. He came in and told me about it right away. He decided it wasn't all that and the issue sort of just went away. BUT, I did have an opportunity to confront the mother of the boy who share this with manster when she was at field day last year. I did it in a very nice, non-accusatory way. I just said "our boys are talking about this cutting stuff and I though you should know. I told her I didn't want to make an issue out of it but that I felt she should know what the boys were discussing. She admitted to me that her daughter's "friend" was doing this. Perhaps it is true but I also thought it could be the daughter, just a feeling. Well this "N" is the only boy friend that manster has taken to and I like the kid. He did come to manster's birthday party last Sept but mom came too (which was fine, I have had to accompany manster to many a birthday part and was the only mom there). Since then I have tried to schedule play dates and she either doesn't return my calls or acts very strange when I ask her if N could have a playdate. I called yesterday to see if I could take the boys to the skating rink but she was awkwardly silent with me. There is something very strange there. Or maybe she just doesn't want N to play with manster, it's hard to tell. What do you think? ML [/QUOTE]
