[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thank you for your question.  Carpool, playdate, activity, everything the other child is involved in!  UGH. [/quote]

My son has a friend like that. Thd WORKING moms do all the heavy lifting and this one SAHM sits on her ass and never offers to help. A few things:

-she has been ditched from the carpool group because she's useless. Now her working DH is the sole taxi for her child.
-honestly, she's batshit crazy. [b]Having a crazy mom her kidss are probably going to be a mess so I try to redirect my son to hang out with other people. [/b] I'm sure she's just mentally ill. [/quote]

God, you're a bitch. Those poor kids have a crazy mom and you're trying to make sure they don't have friends, either.

I don't think she's a bitch. My friend has a problem with depression. She is a basket case and her children are brats. My kids do not want to be around them because they steal their stuff and can't share or take turns. I understand their behavior is a result of their mother's inability to properly parent but that's doesn't make it ok and it isn't my kids' responsibility to play with them.[/quote]

I'm the person who called her a bitch. That's not the situation here. Quit projecting. She didn't say her kids don't want to hang around with the messed up kids and she doesn't push them to do it. She said that she pushes her kids AWAY from kids with messed up families because she doesn't want her "healthy" kids associating with "unhealthy" kids.  She isn't saying that she tells her kids to avoid other kids on the basis of the kids' behavior. She's telling her kids to pick friends on the basis of their parents' behavior.

As far as my "progressive" social experiment goes... most of those messed up kids aren't going to be messed up themselves. They are going to go out and make lives for themselves that are happy. They learn resilience and compassion. They make excellent friends, co-workers, employees, and bosses.

Sheltered people like PP's kids make terrible friends, co-workers, spouses, and employees. They are rigid and inflexible. They have low tolerance for individual differences. They are going to meltdown when the world doesn't go exactly perfect or someone acts different that they think they should. If something bad happens to those kids, they will have zero resilence. If something happens bad to someone else, they will have zero compassion. PP isn't just a bitch, she's a stupid bitch who is raising stupid, entitled, arrogant children. [/quote]
