What to do when kids fight and the other mom says my baby can't play with her baby anymore?

Question

MY 2 YR OLD BITE MY FRIENDS 2 YR OLD, NOW SHE SAYS THAT MY BABY CAN'T COME OVER HER HOUSE ANY MORE. AM I WRONG IF I STOP GOING TOO? (NOTE) SHE ONLY LIVES UPSTAIRS FROM ME.

Answer 1

EDIT:

No you're right.

Answer 2

Don't understand your question, but until you get your 2 year old to stop biting, s/he should not be near other children s/he can injure.  

Answer 3

well what are you to do leave the kid down stairs alone. He has to come with you. You need to stop your kid from biting and the situtation needs correcting Your son should say sorry.  

Answer 4

I'd try to talk to her about it and read articles about kids who bite.  Even the mellowist of kids may bite and for alot of different reasons too.  At 2, most kids dont have the control of an older kid to know that biting isnt ok.  

Answer 5

No. But she may get over it. When my step sister entered our family. Her kids didn't get along with my real sister's kids. They got into it bad. My two sisters even got into it. you know, the whole "if your kid... blah blah" They eventually got over eachother. You nieghbor may as well!

Answer 6

Your friend is trying to protect her child.  My daughter was scratched by my roomate's baby.  Her baby scratched my daughter hard on the cheek and my daughter still has the scar, fifteen years later.  I'd do anything to go back in time and choose a new roomate.  I would try to remain friends with your friend, but out of respect, please keep your child away from other children until she learns to stop biting.  Biting is a sign of aggression in toddlers.  You might seek professional help from your local child protection agency where they can give you referrals for help.

Answer 7

Your baby is too young to understand that biting hurts (they don't call it the terrible two's for nothing) but you must teach your child it is NEVER acceptable to hurt another so please don't do it by smacking your child or he/she will get mixed messages and think that it is ok to show anger by assualting others.

Children falling out often means that their parents do too - after all we care about our children more than anything else. Accept that friend is naturally concerned for her baby and stay away at least for a while.

You could write her a letter saying that you understand how she feels and are doing all you can to teach your child to be kind to others, that you are sorry you have fallen out and hope you can be friends in the future.

It also sounds like you need a wider circle of friends. See if you can join a local mums and tots group (ask at your doctors, if you don't know of any). All kids fall out with others, mind you, even once they understand they are not to hit or bite. And usually they are the best of friends again 5 minutes later. It's all learning about relationships and what is - and isn't acceptable. Experienced parents learn not to get to involved. If your child does it again make it quite clear you are very cross by saying NO (they definitely know that by 2!) ask him/her to say sorry and to play nicely. If this doesn't work remove your child immediately. One other thing - I know it's easy to get chatting with our friends and not watch the kids, but this always ends in tears. Always keep your eye on them so you can stop things before they start.

Answer 8
