[quote=Anonymous]I don’t want to encourage a friendship with our next door neighbor. 
He talks back to me and my husband frequently and he’s mean to my son. They are in first grade. He’s made him cry a few times teasing him and some other parents told me that he’s hurt my son at school or practice, nothing major but something along the lines of put your finger here and crushed it. My son doesn’t like to tattle in his friends so when I ask him directly he won’t say much. The kid repeats himself so I’ve seen the trading myself when I have driven him places. Now I’m stopping any kind of car pools or play dates but they are in class together and sit together on the bus. I’ve talked to the parent about some of it but she doesn’t know the full extent. She’s been nice but now knowing even more, I’ve come to the conclusion he’s just not a nice kid at the moment and I think distance is the only option. There’s just way too many things that have happened. Any advice dealing with this with a kid that you can’t escape? My son also wants to be friends with him. He’s not nice to my younger son either and has teased him kr told him he can’t play with them which just isn’t the norm with younger siblings in our social circle and I don’t want it to start now. My boys get along really well and my son loves playing with his younger brother. He’s a really sweet kid and I don’t want this meanness to rub off. [/quote]
