LaTexican: I think part of the problem is that I talk to him too much. Everyone is always interrupting and I think they start comming up with reasons to be annoyed when I everntually ask them to please let my child finish his sentence, or when I say I need to talk to him for a bit.

The main thing I'm getting from these responses is that something over here is out of whack, and everyone assumes that if I'm getting this kinda thing, it must be becasue it's a structured programme or people think I'm not staying close enough to my kid.

Which means, I think, that I'm right (na nana boo boo) in thinking that at an unstructured drop in it should be ok for my kid to do what he's doing. So it's just the social issue. How much do I want to piss people off? People my kid might go to school with in a year and a half & have to get allong with. (here kindy starts at age 4) arg.
