My DH has a friend whose wife is awful and has moved to our town and has begun to make an effort with us and another wife from a couple were friends with. The dh from this couple is more friends with this womans dh. Hope that makes sense.

This woman has never worked and boasts about how much she gets in benefits. She tells people they want another child and she will get more benefits for this.
She says woman with kids shouldn't work full time as it makes them bad mums! At parties etc she literally will not let people away from her going on and on. I feel nasty but my god she's wearing. She's taken to messaging me and the other wife asking us to do things and I'm struggling with excuses. Help me!

Meet up with her once and make sure she has a really shitty time?

Then she'll enjoy you saying "I'm sorry, I don't want to". Send it - you'll feel tons better

Maybe just be honest? Say you don't see each other being friends?
I'm a bit brutal like that though...

God I wish I was that brave. She comes to alot of parties though etc so it would be major awkward!
