Namechanged but could do with some advice from lovely people in this topic who always give good advice.
My friends adopted their DD a couple of years ago. She and my DD get on very well most of the time although their relationship is a bit volatile but as they live a fair distance apart we don't see one another a lot.
Because of the distance, they stay over when they visit and her DD sleeps in my DD's room for logistical reasons (our DD comes into our room and sleeps on the floor - there isn't enough room in the spare room for a bed on the floor). I realised after they left the last time that a number of DD's things had been wrecked after they'd left - stuff had been cut, broken and ripped. My DD was upset and said that the friend's DD had done it and that she doesn't want their DD sleeping in her room any more.
While they were visiting, my friend said to me that she is worried about her DD having issues with not being invited back to friends' houses and now I wonder if her DD is doing the same sort of thing round her friends' houses and that's why she's not getting invited back. :confused: :(
Should I say something to my friend? I don't want to upset her but at the same time if there's an issue that's affecting her DD's friendships, then her parents might want to know so they can deal with it. Both our children are 5 incidentally.
Would appreciate any advice. BTW I do know their DD's background but not willing to go into it here for obvious reasons. It was difficult though.

Should I talk to my friends about their DD's behaviour?
