DD’s best friend has no manners. They’re both 8 and a half.
We’ve had friend around for plenty of play dates and have done some days out etc. She literally never, ever says please or thank you, and just comes across as quite demanding in how she asks for things. No SEN that I’m aware of.
DD is no angel and sometimes needs prompting on manners but is generally pretty reliable, as I think kids should be at this age.
Friend’s mum has texted me thanking me for the most recent play date and asking some quite searching questions about her daughter’s behaviour, as well as saying she hopes her DD didn’t come across as rude or demanding.
What do I do? I’d never spontaneously offer feedback but she has asked. But criticising anyone’s child has never ended well.
YABU - don’t say a word
YANBU - tell her what how her DD behaves.
