Should I Dump My New Friends?
I recently made some new friends and they’re so fun, we have a great time together! Recently, we hung out with our families together (husbands and kids) and as it turns out, I HATE the way they parent. I absolutely hate it. >No judgement< They’re allowed to parent however they want, and as far as I can tell, they’re not harming their children. I just don’t parent the same way, and I DO NOT like the behaviors that their kids exhibit. I don’t like the way they talk to their kids and each other, none of it. I was appalled honestly. I like them as individuals, but they want to have more family get togethers and I definitely do not. I don’t want my kid being exposed to that in any capacity. And I don’t want to bring up their parenting styles because again, that’s just their way. How do I approach this? I’m not trying to mom shame, or make them feel like they’re doing something wrong. It’s just VERY different from how I choose to parent.
