To not want to see my friend when her daughter tags along too ?

[Pinknelly1982]

I have this friend whom I really enjoy her company and she has a daughter almost 11. Her daughter has the habit of always interrupting our conversation. It is constantly happening. She has always been like this, when she was little I could excuse it. She is now almost 11 and I find it really rude. I told my friend and she agreed with me and said it was a problem in her every day life too. It really grates now and I don’t want to see her when her dd is present. AIBU ?

You’re not being unreasonable to want to have adult conversation without an 11 year old listening in.

You spoke to your friend she agreed what was her solution? Of course yanbu but your friend allows her dd to distrupt chat the girl doesn't know anything else.

Are you meeting your friend during the day or night?

My dd has just turned 12. She would rather stay home than follow me around.

They have a very fusionnel relationship! My friend has been aware her daughter constantly interrupts by her husband, and me recently and she agrees and she said she was going to do something about it. The last straw comes after she interrupted and gave her opinion about what we were talking about !! She is a friend I see often after school and her daughter is here so my question is would it be mean not to see her anymore after school
and sometimes during holidays so they can have their mummy-daughter time !

If you don't want to see her don't you have told her the issue she recognises the issue but isn't going to do anything about it, take a break and maybe organise an evening dinner or something make it clear just adults.

Just invite her to something and make it clear it's not a child friendly location etc. have you really not seen her without her child in 11 years? If she's not a single parent that shouldn't be an issue to sort out

Unfortunately there's not much you can do about it. It's not the bairns fault, it just gets irritating as she gets older.

Ask your friend if she fancies a game of bingo or something where kids aren't allowed. It's what I had to do years ago to get rid of the kids.
