Last Friday my best friend brought her little boy over for a play date with my daughter. They're both nearly 3 years old. A majority of the time he was here, he disobeyed his mom, pushed my little girl around, and swore at her- terrible obscenities, calling her a F-er. (Hope you know what I mean-and his swearing is not discouraged by his parents). At one point, she went and sat under the tree by herself, looking quite sad. By Sunday, she was so unruly and uncooperative, I can't help but think it came from her experience with the boy. She doesn't get interaction w/ other children (only child, daycare far too expensive in this area so I became a stay at home mom) but I am wondering if what interaction she IS getting is detrimental to her feelings/development? What do you suggest?
