[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can’t police what this kid says and he can’t take it back.  This rumor seems dumb anyhow bc if your son deserves to be on the team, his skill will set the record straight.  He doesn’t need mom help.

But he doesn’t seem to like your son so why would you arrange for them to car pool.  [/quote]

To help out my friend, m'dear.[/quote]

NP. If it were me and it was going to be hurtful to my child to do the carpool I’d pull out. [/quote]

OP here - I want to but wondering what reason to give friend who is not receptive to bad feedback about her kid and is going through a divorce....[/quote]

"The boys aren't getting along great right now, so I think we should not carpool, sorry for the inconvenience.  Hopefully they'll have a great time together at this camp and all will be back to normal soon."  [/quote]

I would not use this - mom would say "it's okay for them to be in camp together all day, but you don't think they can handle being in the car for 20 minutes?"

Which is also something I've been wondering.[/quote]

Yeah, it's a one week camp, not a year-long commitment. They'll see each other there anyway.

Op, what has your son done in response? You need to focus on equipping him with retorts. Has he said anything to the "friend"?

Maybe the carpool will give him a chance to say "not cool, bro. You know my dad didn't volunteer until after I made the team." [/quote]
