[quote=Anonymous]I also agree with the advice to talk this through as a family. My opening position - which would be open to discussion with thrw kids - would be to say: 1. Totally fine with the kids staying friends with their kids. a. If kids ever feel pressure or want an out, you can help them. (Ie, I say to my teenager, if you need me to be the bad guy I will and we use that judiciously if her avenues haven't worked). 2. Prepare comments for the mom, with whom you are friends. Peggy, I need you to back off a little. Whatever you choose to do is fine, it's your life. I'd asking you to respect my choices to live my life as I choose, and to back off any judgement. 3. Ease off and distance from adult interaction. If they push back, restate step 2. If they continue to push back, a polite step 3 becomes a more overt step 3. [/quote]
