My daughter met a new friend over the summer and they played out all the time in the front every day. Sometimes they’d come in the house for a bit and sometimes to her friends house. Now that it’s darker nights they are still wanting to play every single night after school. I’ve told them that mostly if they want to do that they’ll have to play out and come in earlier out of the dark but obviously it’s getting colder so I’ve let them play in sometimes. Well it’s got to the point where, not to be horrible to her friend as she’s a lovely girl, but I’m sick of the sight of her. Not only that but apparently her mum won’t let them play in her house and then her mum had the cheek to text me when her daughter told her her little brother couldn’t also come over to play which in any case he was her daughter lied ans said he wasn’t because she didn’t want to play with him. He’s 3. She text me being all petty saying if he’s not allowed then her daughter isn’t either. I feel like I’m being used here for a babysitter! My other daughter plays in her friends house sometimes but my older daughter isn’t allowed because she’s not the friend of the girls whose house it is. I wouldn’t expect all my kids to be allowed in! And especially ones that I’ll end up looking after because they’re only 3 years old! How do I approach this as I’m starting to lose my temper with it all because every time we get home her friend is waiting. Her mum even messages me to ask when I’ll be home so she can play and it’s every single night through the week and all day weekends. No matter what time. She’s there. She constantly asks when we’ll be back, she asks at the start of the week what days we’ll be in and when will we be back. It’s driving me crazy.
