[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: Friend has a hubby but I think she just genuinely enjoys having her kid around. Even when hubby can sit. I think she seems to think we’re as fond of him as she is. 
At first we were thrilled for her and I think she ran with this.
She’s the type to overpost on social media about how amazing her kid is. I get that’s her priority. That’s not ours and we’ve been more than accommodating but it’s getting tiring. Having an adult party on a weekend and you bring your kid it ruins the mood, we have to be mindful of the kid
and he walks and gets into everything which I get kids do. As a mutual friend put it if the house  isn’t really kid friendly and there’s a lot of breakables you’re constantly on the edge wondering if he will accidentally pull something down and break it-this was brought up as  she brought her kid to our wine and dine party a few weeks ago. She tries to mingle and assumes everyone else will keep an eye out on him. We take turns hosting for the most part but she usually doesn’t since she prefers to get out of the house. we’ve all been friends for over 5 years.

Ahh...I get it.  It was cute when the kid was a baby, and you all probably fussed over the baby, so she got a lot of validation over bringing him.  But now that he’s hit that toddler stage, it’s more destructive than cute.  
I don’t know what to say.  Its hard.  I went through something like this with my parents and siblings.  They made it clear that some things were adult events.  My feelings were hurt, but I got over it.  A couple of years later, one of my siblings had a baby, and the scales tipped to everything being child friendly.  [/quote]
