I don't think you are a terrible person for not wanting your child around others who are a bad influence on him. You will have to watch for this his whole life. My niece (almost 3) has also recently picked up some bad behaviors from another child that she is often with. They definately learn from one another -- the good and the bad behaviors. Unfortunately though, I don't think there is a nice way to resolve this other than not having your mom watch your son, which really stinks. Maybe some of the other BTDT moms have more advice on how to handle this.

No, you're not a horrible person for wanting that at all. You want good role models for your son. The problem isn't so much the kids - it's the person watching them (sorry!). If your mom was strict, those kids would be kept in line completely.

She should be punishing them for misbehaving. If she doesn't do that - your son will pick up the same habits, regardless of whether the others are there or not.

IMO, there are always going to be kids that misbehave in every daycare situation. It's all a matter of how the person in charge handles it.

This is why I say I am never going to be a "soccer Mom" I can't handle other peoples kids. It's amazing what our kids leanr. (not that my son was perfect.) I've notice that he know screams & whails like the girl who lives upstairs. And I know that's where he learned it from.

I usually just say "I don't care what so & so does. You will not act this way or time out will be had. And things will be taken away. (like no tv or games for a certain amount of time)
