Afternoon folks.
My dd is 5 and has been pals with another little girl, also 5, since they were about 2 yrs old. At same nurseries etc and were inspererable for a long time. Every weekend had a sleep over at one or others houses and everyone commented on what good friends they were.
fast forward to now - they have started school together and are in the same class. between pals mum and ourselves - we take care of the afterschool's care, sharing the days between us.
DD now doesnt want to go to her pals house any more ofr afterschool, play dates or sleepover. there has been some tension and 'squabbling' recently - which there didnt use to be and a competitive edge entering into nearly everything they do. They havent 'fallen out" or had an arguement.
It is really awkward as both families need each other to help out with child care. I dont know how to deal with this with teh girls. Any advice
