xp on my BMB- Awkward student situation today- but so sweet
in GP Moms
So there is a little boy in my class who comes from an extremely dysfunctional family. Parents on all kinds of drugs, grandma living with them to help raise the 3 kids all of who are emotionally disabled. Have crazy crap happening at home all the time, and have CPS visiting regularly. Well today, he brings me a "gift" for my baby. It was so sweet that he wanted to bring the baby a gift. I wanted to cry, but it was so awkward. He brought me a decorative baby changing table cover to use for my baby. The problem is that it was covered in stains, smelled of stale cigs and must, and I was scared to even bring it home because of the potential for bedbugs/lice (as they have been treated for both this school year). He is a positive attention starved child and has fits to get attention, but is spoiled by grandma at home who allows them to do whatever they want. I TRY to give him love and positive discipline at school, but he is hard to manage sometimes. It was so sweet that he wanted to give me something so badly. I thanked him in front of everyone and made him a thank you card to put in his afternoon folder thanking him for "thinking of me". I then brought the gift to the dump. I felt bad, but it really wasnt even something I could wash and give to goodwill. I hope he doesn't make a habit of bringing me used/nasty baby stuff. How can I handle it nicely but decline if he does? Can I nicely decline or should I just do what I did today?
This is such an awkward situation for me because he really means well but his family is totally BSC.

How old is he? Would another white lie work or is he old enough to know?
