Hi there
My 6yo DD has a girl at school that she used to sort of be friendly with but isnt as friendly with now that they arent in the same class.
The girls mother doesnt have many friends... shes a bit talkative and one sided with the conversations and people tend to steer cleer of her. I started up a conversation with her one day and havent been able to shake her since! Shes a nice person but not someone I really want to have more to do with then the occasional "hi, how are you". I am fielding lots of phone calls from her wanting catch ups etc. I dont want to be rude to her but i have a lot of other friends that I struggle to catch up with that I would rather see then her. Also her DD is a real handful and really rough! Also she was always encouraging my DD to join in these antics (which she did!) and she ended up in trouble as well. So when the girls stopped playing together I was a bit relieved.
Anyway the problem is, this girl really wants my DD to have a sleepover at their house. Shes even gone and bought a spare bed for the occasion! I really really dont want my DD staying there for many reasons but I cant think of any way of putting that to her that doesnt sound rude!
Her husband is a really creepy kind of man too (thats my biggest problem out of all the problems) I cant put my finger on it but i know I dont want to have my DD anywhere near him. I was lured into their bedroom one day (when the mum was away) to look at some new animals they had in there in a box ... and he flopped down on their bed with his hands behind his back and just lay there while I was looked at the cats! I felt so uncomfortable and my older DD8 said when we got in the car "mum, why did he lie down on the bed like that"? So even she picked up on the weirdness. Yuk.
They have a heap of loose dogs running around too - my DD isnt good with dogs either so was thinking of using that as an excuse but I know she will say she will tie them up.
God, what to do?? Im feeling rather stressed about the pending conversation. I can hardly say I think your husband is a bit creepy?
