[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since she's a close friend and it sounds like you respect her parenting, I would get really real: "Hester, could we talk about something that's probably going to be uncomfortable for both of us? The playdates where Billy comes to my house are not working. He's broken things, won't listen to me, won't follow our rules, and I can't manage him while caring for 3 other kids. I'm telling you this because I like Billy and you are a good friend and I really value your family. I don't want to act weird or shut you out, but our current setup isn't working." My kid has some issues, not the same ones as your friend's kid, but when good friends have gently flagged her issues, I haven't been offended and did help me realize I need to get some help for her.[/quote] This. If she's a good friend, then you have this conversation with her and she will understand and hopefully you can come up with a solution together.[/quote]
