[quote=Anonymous]New poster here, and I can completely relate to the OP and others having friendships that are cracking because of child behavior issues. My kids are younger (my oldest is 6) but I'm at the point where I have absolutely zero desire to see about half of my friends with their kids in tow. Because it's impossible to have a meaningful conversation because of the amount of corrective action the parent has to take with their child, or (worse) the kid runs rampant and the parent turns a blind eye. I've gotten to the point where I avoid hosting playdates at my house because it's a lot of work to clean and prep pre and post playdate. All to sit there witness to terrible behavior. I'd love to do drinks/dinner with just my friends, but many of them seem reluctant to leave their little ones behind. Sorry for the rant, but it's depressing to know this does not get better as kids mature. [/quote]
