I also try to remember that he is a product of his environment. He has no 1 on 1 play time with any kids, never had a play date or a sleepover with any kids his age. The only interaction he gets is group activities in school or when he was in boy scouts. Then when he is with adults he gets 100% of the attention and no one else to compete with.
I guess what comes to mind for me then is, why is this the case? I’m not exactly trying to cast blame, but who’s fault is this? Why does he not have play dates? Why no sleepovers? Why all the adult attention? He’s not raising himself or growing up in a vacuum. This does not at all seem to be the way you and your ex are raising your girls. Maybe you Have already thought of this and that’s part of why you are in the place you currently are. I give you huge credit in not saying anything. I must say I’ve done the same, at least for the most part, but it both effected my thoughts about the mother and in the case of my ex and step kids are now feel in some ways I let them down and have told them as much. Of course we were married so it’s a different situation. Thing is, you might be able not to comment but it’s nearly impossible and perhaps foolish to ignore it.
