I'm like, but then I just feel like I'm like sugarcoating things, you know?
So my fear is that like, if I didn't say anything, or even if I did, and things still didn't change, and I still let the kids hang out, is that her parenting skills will affect the way that I see her as a friend, because then it's like, how do I respect a friend who's letting their child do this to mine?
So like, you know, that's why I was like, I have to say something.
If it ends our friendship, I'll understand.
But right now she's not in a place where she said, like, I don't want to be friends with you.
This is too crazy.
What she said to me was, well, we're in the same circle of friend groups where all of our friends have kids and we all get together and we all let the kids hang out so that we can hang out.
What does that look like now?
Yeah, I'm jumping to conclusions.
Yeah, that makes perfect sense.
No, you're right.
Cause I do feel like I did come from that kind of place.
So that's definitely not what I wanted, but like now I know how to go forward, just be there for her, let her know, you know, that I do want this to work out.
I do want them to be friends and just, you know, even if I can always just ask if she ever needs any help with anything like that, I'm here for her instead of it coming off as like,
yeah, these are the reasons why I don't want your son around my son.
I should have been more understanding.
Yeah, 100%.
No, you're right.
It makes me feel a lot better about everything.
