97. Apples to oranges....If I met your child and tried to shake
his hand and converse with him about the 2008 election, you'd agree that's age inappropriate.
Just as your example is age inappropriate...one simply does not treat grown adults as they do children---
How did your son react? Was he upset? I ask because one of the first and greatest lessons I learned as a mother was to separate my own feeling from the feelings of my daughter....thus, respecting that she is her own person, with her own thoughts. This is what allows me to be smile when she plays in mud with worms and bugs that disgust me....it's not about me and my dislikes....
