(4,442 posts)behave within a framework of my own design. I have friends with "badly behaved" children. I do not always like the way the children behave (especially since i AM a parent and must continue to enforce "good" behavior in my own children regardless of the example of the company) but i would NEVER abandon my friends, particularly in a time of great difficulty, over something so self centered. And i would certainly never "pass on" a friend to random strangers on a message board as if she were an old appliance that failed to serve you well. ****Maybe I should forward her some of the IDs in this thread that are so incensed. She might want to take her brat to visit them. lol *** Hardy har har. hysterical...
How incredibly generous and mature of you.
Perhaps your friend is simply an emotionally tired woman who clearly, considering the level of company she kept on CHRISTMAS, does not have much loving support in the form of friends, maybe even family, and as a result has developed a stronger dependance on her bond with her young child, WHO ALSO recently suffered a serious emotional trauma with the loss of his father. I would suggest that she will be much better off, once you remove yourself, and your self centered motives, from her life. She probably deserves much, much better.
