And they seem eager to babysit? you've got plenty of reason to be wary. trust your feelings.

Wow!!! After communicating w/ your dd he thinks she's flirting. WTF I would have just given them the "I can't believe you just said that" stare.

It may or may not be creepy, but I always err on the side of trusting my gut. I would never let anyone babysit my child that I am not 100% on board with. I would rather be overcautious than not cautious enough!

Another overreacter. People say this all the time too about my son...he has lovely huge green eyes and we are always getting comments about how many hearts he is going to break. They are trying to be complimentary, folks.

The screaming, etc. is a concern. The "flirt" and pretty comments are normal.



I'm curious and not being snarky- were you born in this country?

PP here: by flirty comment, I mean it is normal in other cultures to say that a small DS is a flirt. It is actually a positive comment that the DS is cute and a ladies man. I don't know about girls though.

I think a flirting comment is fine. If someone said my toddler daughter was giving him the eye in a grownup way I would've been disgusted. Your daughter is little and will make new friends. Drop them now. You don't want your DD to continue being best friends with her. If she's a teenager and still friends with this girl it will be much more difficult/impossible for you to try to supervise everything. And you will hate every minute she's with that girl and constantly think about creepy dad and how you are allowing your DD to be with someone that your instincts say no way to.
