[quote=Anonymous]My best friend's son (N) and my son (both 14) are best friends. We do a lot together and are all very close. I also have an older daughter (16). Today she told me that N told her at a recent event that "my dad thinks you're dumb (or stupid?) because you don't do anything and you're always on your phone." and apparently "you don't want to be like her" (my daughter). Background is that N is a child who is aiming to get into Harvard and already has a resume 2 miles long of all his extracurriculars, awards, honors, and academic achievements. My son confirmed that N also told him that his father "thought she was dumb", but then said his father took it back after he realized all the AP classes my daughter is taking (whatever that means). I am SO mad! How dare he talk about my daughter like that?! I have never been anything but supportive of my best friend's (often annoying) children in everything they do. Furthermore, my daughter is amazing. She does well in school, has many activities she is involved in, is a leader in her school, and is well-loved. We just don't feel the need to broadcast her achievements to everyone. I don't want to ruin my relationship with my best friend, or my son's friendship with N, but I do want to ask my best friend WTF her husband's issue is and never talk about my daughter again. Furthermore, my son is even more laid back than my daughter, so I'm sure he has said condescending things about him as well. What should I do? [/quote]
