Hi first time poster here x my son aged 11 has made a friend that lives very close by and they are becoming great friends gaming etc but the young boy has starting bringing his younger sister over to play which I thought ok that's nice maybe she can play with my daughter but nope she just moans screams threatens to walk out the house and go home and get her brother in trouble she doesn't play very well at all but I try and encourage her to play and I talk to her and let her play with my hobby stuff etc but she's so draining she's very hard work but the mum won't let her son come round without his sister now I don't know what to do x

you're going to have to speak with the other mum. explain the current arrangement isn't working very well.

perhaps the boys could have playdates at her house instead? at least occasionally?

Do you know why can't he go without her?

That's really weird of the mum.

Lovely for her. She gets a break while you babysit!
Put you foot down.
I hope your ds is allowed to their house although people like this in my experience don't often like to host.

The mom can't be bothered with the little girl kicking off when her brother gets to go out, would be my guess.

Explain to the mother. And remind her you're not a free babysitter.

Speak to the mother? He’s maybe been sent out to take his DSis to the park not to play computer games, possibly only allowed an hour on the game at home and that’s why he doesn’t ask your ds round.

But definitely remind the mum that you aren’t a babysitter and her child’s not happily playing with your dd.
