[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can’t police what this kid says and he can’t take it back.  This rumor seems dumb anyhow bc if your son deserves to be on the team, his skill will set the record straight.  He doesn’t need mom help.

But he doesn’t seem to like your son so why would you arrange for them to car pool.  [/quote]

To help out my friend, m'dear.[/quote]

NP. If it were me and it was going to be hurtful to my child to do the carpool I’d pull out. [/quote]

OP here - I want to but wondering what reason to give friend who is not receptive to bad feedback about her kid and is going through a divorce....[/quote]

I’d say something like since the boys aren’t getting along right now, it’s not going to work for us to carpool. If she pressed, I’d tell her what you know and let her do with it what she may. If she pushes back, I’d say that this is what your child is telling you and you’re sorry that the carpool won’t work out as you all had planned. [/quote]

Going through a divorce is very difficult, and this would be devastating.

But if it's what you feel the need to do, go ahead and do it. [/quote]
Her 12 year old boy is hurting and this is a chance for her to stand up for him, which he will remember. I don't think she needs to make it a big deal but politely back out of the carpool. [/quote]
