How do I tell my friend that her child is the worst?

[allywomack13]

My husband and I share a house with another couple and when we first moved in I was pregnant and my friend had a little boy. He was sweet and loving and then he turned 1. And I understand that 1 year olds aren't perfect. I've been around kids for 8 years and I have two nieces and I now have a child of my own. Well he hits and scratches me all day everyday and now he is getting physical with my 2 month year old and the only thing his mom does is say no and when she (for the first time because he threw a shoe at my DD) put him in timeout and he got out she laughed and then continued to baby him. Before it wasn't my business but now, my DD is involved?

The living arrangements aren’t exactly ideal are they? You’re in a position where you’re considering telling someone they're child is awful and you shouldn’t have to because it is none of your business and you have no control over his upbringing. I think the house sharing situation is only going to get worse

time for your own place.

House sharing is grestvwithout kids. But it really doesn't work when you have them.

You're raising 2 kids in a different way, and trying to create two little families. That doesn't work in the same house.

Can you start planning a move?

Don’t tell her the child is awful, but do tell her she needs to deal with it.
