[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes you still invite their family if they’re part of the group - unless you want to cause drama.

Not to excuse whatever happened, but many 8-9 year olds
are still working on impulse control. So unless it was really egregious or caused permanent injury, I would just play nice/ polite with them to keep the peace. [/quote]

Right.  I actually did end a close friendship over parenting/child behavioral issues, but it was because I knew that my child and the other child just could not be in the same room together based on repeated interactions.  If this was just a one-time incident, it's hard to see why OP is reacting so strongly. What I suspect is that she never really liked "this mom," and this incident just brought it to a head.  [/quote]

No, I love this mom. I consider her to be one of my closest friends. I think I’m still very upset about the whole incident.

As much as I love the mom, I love my child more[b]. And this was not a first offense[/b].[/quote]

What other things has he done?

So, now there is a history? Anything else?

Op - can you just tell us what happened and the ages of the kid and a but more context. 
You keep posting excuses and these really vague responses. It is beginning to be a waste of time posting you helpful advice.[/quote]

OP has said variously that she doesn't care about this friendship and that they're very close, extremely close, besties.  The incident is serious but she doesn't care about it (presumably her DC isn't actually injured), only the inadequate parental response.  Etc.

No, doesn't seem like OP is looking for advice.[/quote]
