[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never encountered any I would call a bully, but more extreme helicopter moms who didn't know when to let their kids takeover in making their own plans.  I had one mom still contacting me when our kids were 15!  "Eva would love to go to the movies with Lara on Friday.  Is she available?"

I've also seen it with parents who try to play friend matchmaker for their shy/less social kids. [/quote]

What do you do in this situation?  When the parent tries to (practically) force your DC to hang out with their DC?  Isn't it more/most valuable to teach your child how to make friends who *want* them around?  Some parents think they are "helping" their child by intervening, when in reality, they are further alienating their child.  Reviving this thread for more current input. [/quote]

You could be less gross and have a little more compassion. It's like you are relishing the kids' loneliness and the mothers' attempts to help them. Because I don't believe for one second that you don't know to say "Lara makes her own plans these days, have Eva contact her directly." [/quote]
