Ok, Ds is only just four and he does have one thing which we would never take away...his bottle. (dummy occasionally but bottle is his best friend in the world...)
He's just had a few days off with birth of new brother...something he found very hard to cope with...and went back today with a few tears.
They now as I've always told them, ring me if he wants you to, even just to say hello, if it helps him feel Ok. (he had trouble settling in in January but is mainly fine now).
Anyway today he cried for about half an hour, and asked them to phone mummy, but they refused. I can see their point, trying to just help him adjust...but what upsets me is that I promised HIM that he could ask them to call me, and I'd come and get him...they broke my promise to him and I feel I've broken his trust.
Secondly, some woman decided he was too big for his bottle, and took it away for the whole morning...they KNOW he has it and even while he was crying, he wasn't allowed it today.
This I find unacceptable. He told me afterwards what had happened and it made me so upset. His life is very hard at the moment and he's doing really well but didn't need that sort of cr*p today of all days...how dare they take it on themselves to decide whether he has it or not? I think it was the new woman who might not realise, but surely someone should have stepped in and given it back...how will he ever learn to trust adults if they behave like that?
I know some people will think he IS too old for it, but that isn't the point...they wouldn't remove a comfort blanket would they? Especially if it was previously agreed with the parent that he was to have it?
I don't know what to do. I just want them to respect his needs a bit, especially when we've discussed these things in advance.
