Why don't I ban him? Because is learning to stand up for himself and

to let things roll off him. I think those are important things for him to

learn.

Oh, I manage... :-/

He was here for all of four minutes today, then beat him at a video

game and Ben suddenly remembered he was late to be home.

Ha.

Yeah, but I'm peripheral to the situation. It's not MY life we're dealing

with here, it's 's -- and he needs to be able to know he has a friend.

I think the boost to 's self esteem and social skills is more important

than my discomfort and irritation, as much as I am miserable when Ben's

around. :-I

You're a bigger person than I, Jacquie...

I dont' think it's impolite to ask for a drink, if you are friends...like,

" Could I have a drink please? " ...I mean geez, if you're thirty or the kid is

thirsty....

I feel weird when " business " people come to my house and ask for water, but

I guess *I* should be offering to *them*.

I'm weird about those things too... I am NOT a good hostess.

Okay, this is an actual serious question. Is it impolite to ask for a drink

if you're visiting someone, or is that just for kids? I do have serious

social issues, so I honestly don't know.

i'm with you. i don't think i really ever ask for a drink, even if i'm dying

of thirst. i even usually turn down one when offered to me!

,

I even have a hard time asking where the bathroom is. :-(

ellen

[Guest guest]

Ahhh, but does she know where the bathroom is?

Re: dealing with NT kids? (again)

would not eat the first few times at my house. Now at least she'll

eat.
