I have posted on another thread but I wanted to break off if possible to see if anyone has any advice for the situation we find ourselves in.
A girl who is no longer at school with our oldest tells her when they speak that she cries all the time now they aren’t together and that she would sooner die than have another best friend, they should be together all the time and that we the parents can’t keep them apart. For context the other child left the school for family reasons and they are now 11 and unlikely to end up the same school again (tho it didn't stop said child saying that our DD should change school to go to hers as it would be much better that they would be together again.
I find it quite troubling and whilst I like the parents I too find them possessive of us too with the mum quite reliant on me when her husband behaves in a way that frankly i don't know if i could put up with (investing in random schemes, saying they will buy a house but then pissing off on holiday with his mates) so it won't surprise you to hear that i also don’t approve of some of the business dealings of the dad. He is one of those who is always after a quick buck and will try to embroil you in his schemes (some of which aren’t always entirely kosher) as we are all friends (blah, blah)....
I don’t know what to do because I don’t want to sit on our DD too much but she becomes bolshy, manic and much harder to get focused (especially with her mild SEN) when they have been in contact.
Any advice?
