Just wondered if anyone else has been there.
I had a friend for many years but since both having dc it often seems hard work and fraught with disagreement. Anyway it's got to the point that the disagreements or difference in opinion with parenting seem to be souring the previous friendship. I've tried meeting her without the dc (nights out etc) which go better.
Friend's dc (3) is often bossy or rough, not just with with my 2yo but with all toddlers in the friendship group. Friend won't intervene or makes half-hearted calls to her dc to stop which he ignores. Friend doesn't like anyone else to intervene though either (e.g. her dc being rough, I distract my dc to remove him from the situation. Friend makes comments to my dc or her dc instead of talking directly to me, or follows up with a snidey comment about something unrelated.) I realise this may seem a minor complaint but I dont want my 2yo to get the message that other children can hit him / snatch toys from him etc without consequence.
