So this is kind of a messy situation...my neighbors’ kids and my kids have been coronavirus buddies since the whole thing began. They don’t really hang out with any other kids besides each other. My daughter, 10, is good friends with their girl, she is very sweet, and they get along great and have a good relationship.My son, 8, hangs out with their boy, 7, but he is not so sweet. He is just not very well behaved, is a sore loser when they play games, was frequently hitting my son when he got mad, and since he got in trouble for that, has resorted to yelling at him. He’s said things when he gets mad like “I’m going to come back to your house with an ax and break all your windows.” One time he took my son’s iPad and banged it against his bed frame hard enough to put a bend in it, for no reason at all. I’ve talked to his parents at least a few times about his behavior, and they have had “talks” with him, but they seem kind of flaky about it, and he only apologized for the first time a few days ago, but it was really half-assed and didn’t make much of an impact on my son.He’s been teary a few times because this kid is basically his only friend he’s been allowed to hang with, and he is really just done with him and doesn’t want to play with him anymore at all. I don’t blame him and certainly don’t want to force him. I don’t want this to complicate things with my daughter, and their mom, because as far as she knows, her kid apologized and is being given another chance, again. How do I tell her that my kid just doesn’t want to hang out with her kid anymore while not souring my daughter’s friendship? BTW I am not really friends with this mom, but we are friendly via text. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/31Xabvt
