Hi everyone,
I’m after some advice as I’m really stuck with navigating a relationship between my family and another family.
The situation is:
-my family and the other family live across the road from each other
-both family’s boys go to kinder with each other and are the only boys in their kinder group to be going to the local school together and are friends
-the mother in the other family has been involved in some dodgy social situations (e.g threatening to punch another parent in the face, making false, hurtful allegations against others).
-the other boy’s behaviour needs some work (I.e swearing, being rude to only girls, though he is still only 5)
The most recent issue is that our boys were playing together at her house when they got bored and decided to walk across the road to our house. She wasn’t watching them and I found them hiding in my garage. I’m concerned they could have been hit by a car.
this kid is the only kid my son has to be friends with at kinder (small town) How on earth do I manage any further play dates without getting on this parent’s bad side when she knows where I live and when I’m home?!
