I guess I'd limit exposure to the computer when the other boy is around. It is such new territory, parenting & the internet. I hope by the time my two boys are older you guys will have this all figured out and will tell me what to do.Amberhttp://www.amberdusick.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-87452971659162950102010-01-25T08:29:18.003-08:002010-01-25T08:29:18.003-08:00You should definitely ask XUP.

She always knows what to do!<br /><br />I like Julie's suggestion -- not to punish, but to talk about respect for women, and how you expect him to act, and how he might have handled the situation with his friend. <br /><br />Also I think suzicate is right, you should mention to the friend if he is over again that the computer is off limits, but OY VEY, do I EVER hate confrontation, and I cannot imagine myself ever saying something like that to someone else's kid, even in my own home, because I am a GIANT WIMP. <br /><br />So if you decide to just passive-aggressive it and lock up the laptop when the other kid is over, and not say anything, I will totally support that :).Lynnhttp://diaryofaturtlehead.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-9727780105022922922010-01-25T06:57:43.500-08:002010-01-25T06:57:43.500-08:00I'm with suzicate.

Maybe hubbie could do this when he returns.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06682635497619900645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-78051007519829053692010-01-25T05:17:14.467-08:002010-01-25T05:17:14.467-08:00I wouldn't punish Angus, but talk to him about...I wouldn't punish Angus, but talk to him about what is appropriate and inappropriate and how he can let the other boy know that they shouldn't be looking at that sort of stuff. Never too early to get the boy sensitized to objectifying women. ;-) And I think I would go with suzicate with talking to the other boy the next time he comes over. i wouldn't go to the other parents yet, unless they were really good friends.<br /><br />man, i am not looking forward to that stage!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10740293052409345978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-46020423747745151202010-01-24T21:04:44.062-08:002010-01-24T21:04:44.062-08:00I like the first suggestion - if and when the kid ...I like the first suggestion - if and when the kid comes over again, maybe have a little chat about it. Otherwise, I'm not sure I'd do anything. It's not surprising that a boy of a certain age is going to want to look at this stuff, and I don't know if making a big deal would help anything. <br /><br />But, really, this is VERY easy for me to say right now, while I sit here and breastfeed my baby boy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-21849150616576354962010-01-24T19:54:09.180-08:002010-01-24T19:54:09.180-08:00Oy, I'm not sure what I'd do either.

Since you like the parents, I'd let it go unless it happened again...some parents get real defensive if they think their kid is getting the blame and not yours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
