To consider telling my friend that her dd is rude?!

[magicmummy1]

We have a lovely neighbour with two daughters. The younger one is the same age as my dd, and they are good friends. Our neighbour is a great mum, and is great with the kids. We often help each other out with lifts, minding the kids etc.

The older daughter is always polite and well-behaved when they're with me, but the younger one is cheeky and uncooperative at best, and sometimes downright rude. I'm pretty sure her mum wouldn't tolerate this behaviour if she was around, and don't think the dc would behave like that in front of her mum anyway.

It has been like this for a couple of years now, and while I used to think she would grow out of it, I now feel it's getting worse not better. I try to deal with it at the time, nicely but firmly, but i really don't like getting cross with other people's children and don't feel that this should be necessary. I have never said anything to the mum, but am starting to wonder if I should.

I know she would be mortified if I told her, but if my dd was behaving like that when I wasn't there, I would really want to know! WWYD?
