We have a neighbor on our block with a DD the same age. The girls were thick as thieves when they were younger, fell out of friendship the summer before Covid, connected again during quarantine hanging out outside, fell apart again when school was back, and then reconnected again every summer since. The thing is, this neighbor only seems to be interested in DD when she doesn’t have anything else going on, then she drops her like a hot potato when school starts up again. And I sort of—no, really—resent this “fair weather friend” and feel like she takes advantage of DD.
Am I wrong to discourage this “friendship”?
