[quote=Anonymous]We have the opposite problem over here. DD has a neighbor friend who doesn't go to the same school. DD was so excited to have her closest school friend over to meet neighbor friend. It was a disaster. Neighbor pouted and sniped and was a general nightmare. We didn't try that one again. Now DD is afraid to have anyone over at all, because neighbor gets mean and manipulative when she sees another kid in our yard or even a strange car in our driveway. I said some generic things to DD about treating people like you want to be treated and standing up for yourself, but I didn't really say "she's not your friend." Should I have? I don't know. I started redirecting/distracting DD from interacting with neighbor. Our family has been "busy" a lot lately. Now the mom hates me, but I don't care. [/quote]
