We have told Sam that if he goes near that boy he has to hit him, if he doesn't and the boy wallops him, then Jim and I will go round to see the parents, they are supposed to be really rough, always in trouble with the police and the kids constantly fighting :-5
Poor Jnr Minks, truth of it is, even if he tries his best it will probably be too little too late. Kids sum up grown ups far quicker than what we think.
You are being a great Mum encouraging contact and giving pointers to him, but IMO Jnr is old enough to know how she feels and I wouldn't push anything, when will these type of guys realise that our children are not something that they can pick up and put down whenever they feel like it? :rolleyes:
That is something that I have always admired about Jim, he has always made a great effort to see all his kids.
