To have been honest with this mum...

This afternoon a mum approached me to ask if DS would like to go to tea at their house one night. I hesitated to answer because really he won't want to. The boys are friends but the other boy has just been so mean lately, punching him in the stomach for 'fun', teasing on the bus, ignoring when 'better' friends come along. DS so wants to be liked, that he puts up with this shit and still wants to be friends but this week even he's had enough. She was really upset to hear about it and said she'd talk to him and told me that she'd still like DS to come round but part of me also knows it's only because she's trying to steer her son away from a group of other friends she sees as a bad influence and wants DS and her boy to be closer.

Wwyd? And wibu to tell her that her son is not very nice?

tell her the truth in a tactful way

my dd3 was friends with a child at nursery. in reception his mum was saying how much her son liked my daughter. i pointed out that as he and another child had laughed at the way she talked and upset her, he had a funny way of showing it.

she was mortified.

i think you should tell her the truth. you also need to back your son up and just say you wont let him come.
