Today, I had to explain to several young children why asking the new blind girl to play hide and seek with them is inappropriate. FML

She can hide with another child, I think it's sweet they wanted to include her. Maybe you were being a little uptight and should have thought of how she could play instead of why she couldn't.

It's saddening that she's blind, and may have been embarrassed but you did your best OP!

I don't think "inappropriate" is the right word. I get that it's important to explain that she might not be able to play the way the others do and that they might have to find a new game or play the game a different way, but I think they just didn't really think about that but their hearts were in the right place. It's good that they wanted to include her.

YDI for trying to exclude the blind girl. blind people are great at playing hide and seek.

Maybe they didn't understand what blind meant.

As a blind man myself, I think Marco Polo is more our style.

Many years ago, I used to babysit a couple of blind kids, maybe 5-6 years old. Hide-and-seek was one of their favorite games to play. You CANNOT hide from a blind person in his own house! I never figured out -- and they would never say -- if they could hear me, or smell me, or just how they knew where I was, but they'd always find me. Two steps into whatever room I had hidden in, and they would announce gleefully "I found you behind the door!" or "I found you under the bed" or whatever. Every. Single. Time.

At least they wanted to play. Maybe a different game?

They weren't trying to be they're just kids
