I have made a very good friend at christmas and she is so lovely - we have everything in common her kids get on well with mine and my dp gets on great with her dp! we have even all just been on holiday together and it was fantastic! but her little girl is a total nightmare - im so sorry if that sounds awful but i dont know how else to describe her! she is nearly 2 which i know is not a good age anyway but she is always with her mum, we go round on a saturday evenings sometimes until gone midnight and amelia is still up and wondering around the house because she sleeps with her mum and so wont go to bed until her mum does even at 1 am!! we cant even have a glass of or a meal there because amelia is climbing on your knee and trying to get your drink or trying to steal your food she jumped on me the other day and poured her entire cup of juice all over me! - at 1 am in the morning u dont expect to have a 2 year old running around demanding sweeties and jumping all over you! i really dont know what to do anymore - i cant say anything to my friend without it sounding like im telling her how to raise her kids and i cant say nothing as its putting me off going there now i would hate for our friendship to be spoilt over this, i even tried to carefully drop a hint saying i found a great website for getting your toddler into a good bedtime routine - she just laughed and said amelia wont sleep in her own bed as she just comes running through to my bed all night and i cant put the bars back on her cot as she wont let me!! - seriously is it me or what? i know this is a mega rant, but i really enjoy our friendship other than this and im soo stuck as to how i can resolve this problem? how do you deal with other peoples kids?
