How do you handle a parent of my 13 year old daughter's best friend?
My daughter's best friend has a mother and father that are too involved. The girls had a spat and now the parents have called me yelling at me & saying nasty things about my daughter to me and behind my back. This child has done a few things to my daughter but we talk it out and I don't call parents when there is a 'normal issue'. Every night I lie awake wondering how school is going to go for my daughter since we are a family that spends time together and not alot of time hanging with other families and i know they are bad mouthing me & my kid. i want to call them and rant about all the things their child has done but that is not how i think problems should be solved. What should i do?

Doesnt sound like a good friend. I would say keep your daughter away from her and tell her to find a new friendFound an answer to your question?

Lead by example. Ignore the silly back-biting, hold your head high and encourage your daughter to do the same.Found an answer to your question?

It would depend on what the spat was about.
How my child handled the situation.
Although an adult saying nasty things about a child is worrisome. Especially to the parent of the child. Are they on drugs?
How do you know they are talking to other parents, if you don't hang out with other families?Found an answer to your question?

They shouldn't be talking badly about your child, to you or anyone else. But if they called you about the spat, I would wonder if there's more to it than just a simple spat. Or maybe it's happening too often? I wouldn't call another parent if my son just had a spat with them, but if it became an ongoing thing that they were frequently arguing or if it was a major issue, maybe violence or one child trying to get the other to steal or something like that, I would.Found an answer to your question?

Just make sure your daughter is OK. This will pass. BTW, when parents bad mouth other people's kids, it makes the parents look really bad.Found an answer to your question?

As long as your daughter is ok, then IGNORE them. They are not friends if they talk behind your back and about your child.Found an answer to your question?
