[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to hijack OPs thread, but I have a related question.

What if your child really likes the other child, how much/do you tell them about why they aren't playing together anymore?

My situation is a bit milder than OPs, I a steering my child away but she really likes the other child and considers her a BF.  We have distanced from the other family (myself included) but it has raised some awkward moments.[/quote]  
Tell them that right now you don't like the other child's behavior and it's best that you don't play together until maybe the kids behavior improves.[/quote]

What? So next time they see each other the child can repeat this? you are better off using something neutral like "they are too busy" or we are, etc.

As for the OP. you can continue your friendship minus the presence of the children. You just have to be smart about it. I did this with a good friend whose DD literally wrestled mine to the floor with her arms behind her back. I never addressed the situation out right but she was happy to meet me separately and I think she knew deep down that it wasn't a good combination our DDs playing together.[/quote]
