[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child had a friend like this. The kid had erratic behavior and I coached my son to try to distance himself from him. The mom took this to the school and accused my son of bullying her son. Other parents and even the bus driver told me that the school was investigating and everyone said the other boy was at fault. The mom would then try to arrange play dates with me. Then a month later, she sent me long berating texts again about how my son was excluding and bullying her son. I never responded to the mom.

It has been years. The boy is fine but I have not once invited the kid over for a play date or birthday party. It is the kid and the mom. I want nothing to do with either one of them. My son has very occasionally asked if that boy could come over because he asked and I always say no. He is not one of my son’s close friends so he only asked like once every 6 months and it is only because the other boy asks my son.[/quote]

You just admitted to openly blocking the other kid in words and in action and yet you can't see how that may lead to accusations of excluding and bullying? You were rightfully called out for being a bully. [/quote]

The other kid would have very erratic behavior. He would normal one minute and then have anger management problems curing, pushing, tackling and hitting. Then the kid would lie and gossip but say really awful age inappropriate things. He seems to be unstable. Other times the kid will brag and lie again and accuse others of being jealous. After many cycles of this, I initially told my child to avoid. They are not in the same class and never were in the same class.

I am not sure who I want to avoid more, the mom or the kid. When school started this year, I told my child to be civil and friendly. I told him that it would be best if they were school friends and not to get on his bad side. That is when the kid asked to come over. The mom has not texted me. The kid asked my kid. I went back to our last texts and it was a series of asking for play dates and then accusing my kid of being a bully. No thank you.[/quote]
