Hi I am in a real dilemma. My child has a school friend who we also see outside of school as I have become good friends with his mum. Wether it's on the playground or we have gone out somewhere he speaks to my son and their other friends like dirt. He routinely cries and creates a big scene when he doesn't get his way and says very nasty things especially to my son. He's a very spoilt child and actually spoils the day every time we do something together. When he isn't there the kids get on so well and there is never any drama. He says such nasty things when me and his mum are there I worry what he does when we aren't. It's always been an issue but I feel like I can't ignore it anymore. My child said he doesn't want to go and play with him anymore and I feel like I can't start making excuses and should tell her what my son said. I can't control them being friends at school but feel like I should protect my child from situations I can control. I feel guilty I've let it go on this long because I wouldn't let someone treat me like that so shouldn't let him treat my son like that. I've had sleepless night recently worrying about what I should say to her because I do value her as a friend and don't want it to be awkward when we see each other most days. I obviously wouldn't say what I think of him and would just say what my son said but still think it's going to cause a load of trouble. I know one way or the other I have to get him away from this child but don't know if I should tell her or just keep making excuses till she stops asking to meet up. Has one one been in a similar situation and been able to resolve it? Thanks
