I love my friend dearly, but I can't say the same for her 3-and-a-half-year-old son who is almost constantly hitting, pushing, kicking or just plain being mean to my boys, one of whom is the same age as him and the other who is 18 months. It seems strange to me because although sometimes my kids will instigate his violence, usually it's just random, like they'll be sitting on the couch together watching a movie and after 15 minutes of complete quiet, her son will turn to my son and hit him! Just out of nowhere. He also picks on my 18-month-old randomly by ramming toy vehicles into his legs, taking toys away, etc. Of course, my friend is trying to get him to stop by giving him "time outs" and telling him to "be nice", but today my 3-year-old wound up with welts on his face & a bloody lip from her son's onslaughts! I'm just tired of this behavior towards my kids, not to mention that I don't want them to pick it up! How do I tell her this without offending her?
