My daughter has this one friend. We’ll call her, um…Spoiledonlychildwhosteals. Yes, that’s a fitting name.
The playdates themselves are usually fine. Unfortunately, they play great together. They play very imaginative games. That’s not the problem. The problem is…
1. The mom…never shows up for her daughter. She is ALWAYS an hour late. Or more.
2. The daughter, Spoiledonlychildwhosteals. She ALWAYS leaves my house with my daughters stuff. “By mistake”…allegedly, supposedly. And my daughter always has to ask her, the next day, for her things back.
Point blank…I am NOT fond of this child. I am NOT fond of the mother…who told me that I shouldn’t kid myself, my husband is probably plotting my death or having an affair. Yes. Really. Can you say “Whack job”?
My daughter just got off the phone with Spoiledonlychildwhosteals…
She was invited to sleep over there.
Knee jerk response…absolutely NOT. But, I told her she’d let this little girl know tomorrow, at school.
My daughter, despite the fact that she knows this little girl steals and is really odd…she likes her a lot. And, she wants to sleep over there.
Would you believe that…I have no clue what to do.
She’s slept there before…before I knew too much about this kid and her mom. And it was fine. Harmless.
But…I just don’t really want to encourage a friendship between the girls. I’m hoping that it fades.
What do you think you would do?
Knowing that your daughter really would be safe at this home but you just don’t like the people…would you let your child sleep there? Or…No?
