My ds (11) has been best friends with a boy, we will call him John, for most of his life. They’ve always done things together and always walk to school together. They joined a club after school together which I always take them and pick them up except once or twice when john’s mum has taken them or picked them up. I don’t mind because I’ve always though John is a good kid. However, they seem to be growing apart which is fine. These things happen. Ds isn’t overly concerned. However, John has stopped waiting for DS at their meeting point and tonight didn’t ring to say he was going to the club so I took DS to find johns mum outside the club in her car with John already inside. I’m really annoyed that he didn’t ask DS if he wanted to go with him considering I’ve taken them every day for 3 months despite Johns mum knowing that I’ve been quite unwell and some nights I literally get in from work and take them straight to the club. When ds asks John why he didn’t wait or phone him John will make up an excuse like he was running late or he forgot. Maybe he genuinely did but it happens at least once a week now. I know I’m overly sensitive so I’m trying not to get involved and let them do their thing but I’m really quite annoyed that all those times I’ve taken John he’s just left DS. I know next week when johns mum is at work he will be wanting ds to go with him but I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to influence Ds by refusing to take John but I also don’t want either ds or myself taken advantage of. Help?
