My friend and I have known each other forever, but her son is awful to mine.
He mocks him, takes his stuff and does that fake apology thing where he laughs while saying sorry.
My son does not want to hang out with him anymore.
I told my friend there was a problem and she said boys tease each other and mine is sensitive.
Maybe he is sensitive. Maybe her kid is also being a little jerk. Both things can exist.
Now she keeps asking why we are never free.
Do I tell her the full truth and probably damage the friendship, or keep making excuses until the kids are thirty?
Now the comments get a turn.
Read the room, state your case, and try not to become the reason the next submission exists.
