Need help with friends we like whose daughter is a brat

My DS, who is DD's twin, still roughhouses and engages in horseplay with his friends in between gaming. Honestly, OP, I would drop the entire family. I have a hard time getting past the fact, if it is true, that this couple will not accept that their child has some behavioral issues and address it with her. It says more about them than DD. I would find the parents and child to be stressful and I would not want to go on separate outings with the parents. I would not be able to get out of my head that they have a bratty child that they don't deal with.

So you would "drop" this family because the RD roughhouses, a behavior you admit you DS, -- who is 2 years older than this girl -- regularly engages in?

Not the pp, but read the thread. The girl is not a friend to their dd.
