[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have yet to meet a parent that would appreciate your honesty (about her child’s behavior). Nothing good will come of that.

I’d simply do a slow fade on the play dates until she gets the hint. “Oh shoot we are busy” etc. If she does ask you directly (she probably will not) then use the “the girls seem to be growing apart” excuse.

Continue to ask the mom to hang out (adults only) here and there. Continue to text to check in (especially about non kid related things).

The adult friendship (especially if it is based only on the kids) probably will not last. Most do not. Kids change friends over the years for various reasons, and this is around the age that begins.  If you have other things in common, occasionally the relationship will shift to a normal adult friendship. [/quote]

I would appreciate the honesty but I am
Rare and few of my friends are willing
To see their children’s flaws.  My daughter had a friend like this girl, but the mom thinks everyone else is mean to her angel.  Literally the opposite of reality/. Slow fade or a vague “girls seem to have some friction let’s just her together without the kids  “ is your best bet
