We live in a neighborhood who is filled mainly with teenage kids. I have a 7 year old son and all of my sons friends from school live in another houseing track.
We dont usually have friends from school come over because my kids are involved in sports and we dont usually have the time, therefore I dont know how to reach them.
The kid next door is my sons age and the only one around during summer. My son always wants to play with him, but I try to limit it.
The kid is rude to me, if I ask him something he ignores it- like I never said anything. If I tell them they cant play with a certain toy or game, he does it anyway. I feel like I am talking to a wall. The other day I asked if he would like to stay for dinner. I asked him about 3 times, before my husband stepped in and asked him.
I think the kid is just rude, but my husband said that this is typical of hispanic cultures- that the men do not have to respond or give respect to women. Is that true? How should I handle it?
