[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is the kid spending so much time at your house--for childcare reasons? For playdates? Is the mom there when the bad behavior is happening? You can stop having the kid over without saying the kid isn't welcome there. Just say it's not working for you and your kid.[/quote]

OP here. She dopes him off for play dates and vice versa. We both work PT but opposite days and we will have one play date a week and each other’s houses. We live on the same street and it’s been nice having my son be able to play with another kid. [/quote]

I have a just turned 4yo but I also have 2 boys in elementary school. 4yo can be very difficult. I would not dare drop her off at someone’s home alone.

My middle child was an absolute disaster at age 3. He was so bad that I stopped working. He is now the sweetest boy ever.

I have a friend whose son was an absolute terror. He would not just yell. He would actually hit adults as well as children and parents did nothing. These parents were social and a lot of fun but would bring sick, like kid is laying on the floor with a fever, but would want to continue hanging out. Now kids are all in elementary and their kids are normal despite being little shits when they were younger.

My point is that kids change. I don’t think this has to be a friend ending moment but the drop off play dates (sounds more like childcare swap) should end.
