How do I deal with this?
My daughter has a class mate who is THE WORST...they don't get a long at all. They have been in the same class for two years now and have ballet/tap together.
Background: she's 6 months younger than my daughter and turning 5 this spring. She has the worst manners (for a 4 year old) she doesn't really engage in parallel play. She just bickers with my daughter constantly and cries when she doesn't get her way. It's too the point that I have had to shorten play dates to 90 minutes. My daughter has play dates with the rest of her friends for hours at a time. I asked her teacher if they get along well at school and she said they do.
Now I know people will say why do I invite her over😂...this girl guilts me...she will literally ask me for a play date for weeks at a time in front of everyone in the pick up line until I cave. Her mother is honestly a very nice woman. She works 3 jobs while her husband (who has clearly been dropping the ball in actually raising the kids) stays at home.
Just today she locked herself in my daughter's room and didn't want to come out 🙄. I'm just over it. I don't want to continue to get harassed and I don't want to keep inviting this child back to my home. I just don't know how to do it. Should I tell the mother straight up or try my best to ignore this child at pick up 😂
