Would you tell your child to ignore another child if you didn't like the mum?

No way. It sends out completely the wrong signal to the child.

I wouldn't tell them to ignore the other child, but I wouldn't encourage their friendship TBH

no, children have a habit of repeating what you tell them. Could be embarrassing.

no! never.

I second mamags not encouraging the friendship

No. It's not my child's job to assume and pass on my prejudices.

what's the story rickman?

No, you just wouldn't encourage the friendship. So no spontaneous invites over to play etc unless your child continued to really like this child in which case I'd probably take his feelings on board. After all it's not the child's fault if you don't like his mum is it?, why should he and your child suffer because of your feelings?

No, but I am creatively dreaming up circumstances where I might (eg the other mum calls my child names!).

no I wouldn't but is it not like or despise? Is the mum rough as a badgers ar$£?

Go on do tell?

for you rickman. I can totally understand you feeling like this about the birth. Your memories must be slightly marred are they?

It's awful when people disappoint us like this. Life is $h!t sometimes.

i wonder what it is she thinks you have done that is so bad! how rude to refuse to even speak to you about it...

and your poor dd

of course - i would never discuss other mums or dads in a negative way in front of children, totally out of order.

I meant of course NOT!!!!
