[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, I wouldn't say anything, but she clearly wants to foster other friendships for her son that are not your son. You are lucky they have lasted as friends this long. It seems like she views your son as "less than". [/quote]

Yes, exactly. Every time the friendship falls apart with his previous bff he comes back to my son. That’s the dynamic I don’t love and they are asking to do playdates again. He has many friends so it doesn’t impact him in any way but I wouldn’t want a friend like this myself so I don’t love it for my child. [/quote]

You are super close to all the playdate BS stopping.  Just stay out of it.  If your son asks for a playdate, arrange it.  If they ask you for one and your son wants to do it and he is free, do it.  And just keep talking to your own kid about friendship and what it should look and feel like.  This friendship will fizzle out.[/quote]

That’s the thing. I really don’t think it will fizzle out, as I said they play everyday and lunch and both probably consider each other one of their best friends. I don’t think it’s the kids doing. It seems like the mom tbh and it bothers me. ashe just seems to lack to social skills to see its rude to do some of things she does. If my kid is pointing it out, I think she’s crossed the line. It’s totally fine to bring another kid along and leave with them but in my circle it tends to be mentioned with a quick text “Hey bringing along George too!” But you’re probably right that this era is close to changing.
