I have NC for this, as it might be outing.
I have a "vibrant" 11yr old DC.
DC has nice friends already, and but recently made a new friendship, someone they like a lot.
Obviously this is great. DC has generally had a good response from the other kid, although often they can't meet up though - possibly because DC tries to arrange it a lot! I don't think it's all one way, but DH and I can't shake the feeling that he's been a bit pushy, a bit overbearing/latching on and wondered if the other kid doesn't feel they can say no to DC...
I know this is really delicate territory, and I really don't want to hurt feelings. But I also think DC would benefit from being a bit more relaxed about friendships. It's probably a bit of a pattern.
Shall i try and gingerly address or give a wide berth?
