Not letting DS out with friends

52 replies

So my DS has been allowed to play out for the last year or so.
However a couple of his friends always seem to get in trouble / cause trouble and DS does 99% of the time take himself out of the situation etc but it's just getting to the point now where I don't want him spending time with them. But I know (think I know!) that's wrong for me to decide who he's friends with.

DS has just come down and asked to play out with them and I've said no. He's now sat up in his room crying 😔

Help / Advice please... Should I let him? (Spoke to dh, his response was just let me out so I now I feel even worse)

Sorry for the lack of info!

They have had the police round their houses a couple of times, one for racism and the other for threatening violence.

Don't get me wrong they aren't thugs, not stealing from shops or damaging property but just disrespectful, shouting things at people in the street, vile language, lying about where they are going, knocking doors (not the worse thing I know)

I guess when I write it down it doesn't sound much, maybe I've overreacted today?!

Doesn't sound like much. They sound vile and I'm surprised you think this isn't much.

Sounds like a classy street 😳

What?

Why don't you buy the OP's family a nice new house in your perfect area.

She never even said the trouble was in her street.
