[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH has way better things to do than hang out with parents of our kids’ friends sans kids, let alone losing sleep to do it. Frankly, he sounds ridiculous.[/quote]

DH already works a ton and has a lot of work related or alumni type events in the evenings he already often declines.

My peeve with this guy is that our kids are good friends. The mom actually always says my son is her son’s best friend.[/quote]

Jesus, lady.  What has happened is that the father of your kids best friend has taken a liking to your husband, and wants to do adult things like dinner or drinks with him.  You yourself said your husband is likeable.

What about this situation peeves you, exactly?  You think that because they met through your kid, all interactions need to include the kids?

You sound a little . . . off.  [/quote]

Actually no she doesn’t sound “off”, she sounds frustrated with the situation.

Her DH has limited time (and interest) for hanging out with this guy. The kids are friends and the dads like each other so getting together as a family is an easy solution. I bet her DH mentions “Oh Larlo’s dad Invited me to drinks again, and I don’t have time.” From her post it sounds like getting the boys together is also awkward because Larlo has an older nanny who speaks mostly Spanish. The boys are best friends (aoccording to Larlos mom) and Larlos dad seems really eager to hang out with DH. The obvious solution is to invite Larlos family for dinner or a weekend BBQ - the boys get to play and the dads can hang out - Yet Larlos dad always declines. The only reasons would be if he really doesn’t like OP, her kids or spending time with his own family.

This situation would be annoying for annoying. Every time her DH tells her about yet another invitation, she’s reminded that Larlos dad is essentially blocking many opportunities for her DS to hang out with his son and BFF.

Unfortunately, there’s nothing you can do. Sometimes our children’s friends will have jerk parents. It is what is. [/quote]
