This will make zero difference.

The sister is used to blaming OP’s son for the actions of her brother’s friends. If anyone on the bus teases her, it’ll be his fault. And the teasing won’t stop until her brother—the most popular and outgoing of his friends—decides to make it stop. The sister knows she can’t blame every single boy on the bus, so the OP’s son has become the face of her tormentors. The sister is upset about being excluded by her twin—BUT at the same time if she directly blames him fir being mean, she’s that much further from joining his friend group. Plus her mom is much more responsive to OTHER kids being mean to her, it’s much harder to get her mom to take meanness from her brother seriously.

Nothing OP’s kid does is going to change this dynamic. A random kid is no substitute for a mom who doesn’t want to parent. This friendship is done, OP. [/quote]
