[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this child is as awful to your son as you describe, you need to have a conversation with your friend about her child’s behavior. 
If not, stop doing things with them. Don’t let a 3rd grader torment your son (and you).[/quote]

Do you have any thoughts on how the conversation should go without completely destroying the friendship?  I think that’s a bitter pill to swallow.  [/quote]

NP.  I think this conversation will kill the friendship - your friend will take her own DD’s side. If you want to continue hanging out with them, you will have to handle it right then and there - say “We don’t say that to friends” or “Let’s all be nice to each other” or some other passive aggressive comment. Something similar happens to my younger DD (6) to with a certain group of friends with 4th grader DDs, thought it’s more excluding than active teasing. I have my DD sit near me with a screen (I know it’s not the best but I want to hang out with this friends group but not have my DD feel excluded the whole time).[/quote]
