[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  It's freeing and I feel like it sends the right message. My kids can be friends with whoever they want at school. I feel fortunate they share stories with me of friends who become frenemies and I understand there are two sides, but regardless the stories tell me if the friendship is healthy. I no longer will make an effort if the friendship sounds troubled  I will host a kid who plays well with mine and drive as much as is needed, but no more with the ones who are two faced. These birthday parties all seem to be some schlep on the beltway to a place where I am stuck finding a coffee place [b]unless I want to spend most of my time driving back and forth.[/b] Weekends are my respite from work and I want to teach my kids that real friendships are the true gift and should be nurtured.

If a friendship is a mess for a while, but they sort it out and can interact well together than sure I'm game, otherwise, Uber/Lyft mommy is not open for business.[/quote]
This is why God invented public transportation. You know, subway? Buses?
