mom question

Another friendship/moms/kid question: How would you navigate a friendship your child has with another friend who's mom is easily angered, very sensitive and react as if we are best friends after finding out every little detail about her your child/her child's interactions at school? For example: Something will occur at school between them and the next time I hear from my DD, she'll say that her friends mom said to say this to me?! Usually it is something she feels like is in defense of her DD I've since gathered. One example is that her DD struggled in math and who cares she is in first grade but my DD is doing ok, I mean it's 1st grade. Next thing you know, my DD is telling me that her friend's mom told her DD to tell me that she is signed up for Kumon. I'm realizing it's things of that nature and I just don't care but how do I navigate it? TIA.

Yeah, ignore. And encourage your daughter to learn the art of noncommittal phrases. "That's nice."

Or better yet, "My mom said adults should not use kids to deliver messages."
