Daughter's friend's mum love bombing my daughter and it feels so uncomfortable

I can relate to this with my daughters friend. She is such a lovely, kind girl. My daughter went through a horrific time in high school with nasty bullies. They did the same to my daughters friend. I was so worried at one point about the effect it was having on my child's mental health, she was doing GCSE'S. Anyway my daughter and her friend started talking after a seriously nasty bout of bullying and have been as close as sisters since. I wholeheartedly believe they saved each other and I'll always be grateful to her friend for the fact that mine is still here, healed and in a happy place. I've told both of them this. When the friend and her family go on holiday, I look after their house and pets for them. I think when your kids find a true friend in life, it's amazing, for our children, but also for peace of mind as a parent.

The only situation I've had similar is when some friends parents valued my spending time with them because for safety / companionship when parents had to work.
Maybe your daughter is giving valuable companionship. During challenging time.

Sounds totally weird tbh, if it makes you feel uncomfortable then there's something off about it. Sounds like she has problems with boundaries. I would just take some space from them so you and your daughter can have some time out.

We had this with my son, his friend and mum. She has encouraged my son to drink from the age of 14. She thinks I'm boring as I don't driwnk (medication). She's the fun, cool mum and I've done all the running my son around.

Very similar in that she didn't want her son to stay over with us but kept asking him to stay there. It all felt very peculiar.

Fortunately the problem went away when both boys went off to different unis and barely seen each other.

Hope it works out for you.

I know this is really late, but for the sake of any other parent who's going through this, I'll start by saying 'trust your gut'.

All those that are saying your jealous etc. Yeah, they don't know.
I'm going through this with my nephews friends Mum. I'm raising him while nursing my terminally ill sister. They've been love bombing him for the last two years and it's all came home to roost.

We made sure the boy, who's clever but a little wild (not wise) & looks for affirmation, stayed in school, got his final exams, points to study law, and did all the paper work so he has a full grant and he was about to start college. The family became very meddlesome to the point the lad announced he was moving out (at 17!!!) to live in the small rural town they live in, with no way for him to independently get to college. I thought there was a mistake, but when I rang the mother, she stuck her heals. I pointed out she had crossed a line, she claimed she hadn't & started speaking as if she was going to put him through college. At this point, I'd like to point out, she's never been to college and had her child at 16 so she's very young....
I don't know if I'm willing to type out every detail, but they were love bombing him all year & he's admitted to feeling obliged to them now. We must teach our kids that they don't owe people who over gift etc. anything. ANYTHING.

I don't know if I could have 'done' anything, but if I had to do it again, I would, when the generous gift started, reminded my lad that he didn't owe folk anything, even if they gift big, and I'd have mentioned to the boys friend, that an over generous gift does not put an obligation on someone
