I would say overall, the little boy may be a good friend to your child. And the simple things you can teach him to change the cycle(like manners) are endless. But again, you're in the situation and see and know more than we do here so ultimately you just have to weigh the good and bad and see if you're willing to accept the bad(for lack of a better word). And you don't necessarily have to be friends with this boy's mom, maybe just friendly, so the 2 boys can play together.
I agree with what vorphalack said too, there are many kids with much more serious issues! |
You're first post got me thinking and I gave them a call. The Mom was really friendly and when she asked him if he wanted to come over tomorrow he was hooting and hollering, very excited!
I don't think he's a bad kid at all, I have never heard about anything he's done at school or anything so that makes me feel better. It was more of the strange family thing that was really stopping me, but it's exactly what you said just poor social skills they don't know what to do.
And yes there are a LOT of worse kids he could like!
