My son's best friend... What would you do?

Lucian was at a friend’s house, today. They’re Polish immigrants and they’re not very friendly toward me. I understand a good amount of Polish, so I know what they say about me that they don’t intend for me to hear.

This friend is six. She has three siblings who are 9, 13 and 16.

I usually don’t leave him alone at his friend’s houses, but my love has finally convinced me that I’m being overprotective, so I left him there at about three and picked him up at six. On the drive home, he looked at me and asked,

“Have we ever had sex?”

I paused for a moment, in attempts to keep my disgust out of my voice, then responded,

“No. Whoever gave you that idea?”

“Valeska (his friend’s sixteen year-old sister) said you’re gay, so you probably have sex with me.”

Lucian, incidentally, has no idea what sex is and hasn’t asked, so I truly don’t know how to respond to the mention of it.

This girl and her family are scum. I cannot stand them. They constantly talk about me and whenever I tell them something that Lucian’s friend has done, that I was not pleased with (She frequently throws things at my cat, despite that even Lucian begs her not to) they act as if it is my fault. Unfortunately, this girl is the only friend Lucian really has and I don’t want to stop allowing him to see her.

I don’t even think this is worth bringing up with their parents, because I truly doubt they’ll do anything about it and yet, I obviously cannot allow him to go over to her house, again if this is the kind of thing he’s going to be hearing. I don’t like doing damage control every time he comes home from there and I can’t very well forbid him from seeing his friend, but all three of her siblings like to tell him some very disturbing things, such as “Your dad likes butts,” and they frequently talk about putting firecrackers in various orifices of small animals.

We’ve established that he won’t be going over there again, but what do I do about his best friend?

Seeing as she lives in a house full of people like this, should I allow him to continue seeing her? Obviously, he can’t go to her house, but should I even allow her to come to mine? I can’t imagine that she doesn’t talk like that if all three of her siblings do, but I’m constantly in the room with them when she’s over and I’ve never heard her say anything too terrible, so I’m at a loss as to what I should do about her.

Answer #1

Have the play dates at your house…that way he keeps his friend and you are in control…

Answer #2

I wouldn’t let my son go over there anymore…I’m not sure about letting her come to your house though. I guess if you’re there it wouldn’t be a big deal.

I have a neighbor that thinks it’s fine to swear at her kids…and every other child near her. She talks about everything in front of them and I won’t let my kids at her house. At first things didn’t go so well but after awhile my kids realized that I wasn’t trying to be mean. My neighbor’s daughters do come to my house but they have all been informed of the rules and if they don’t follow them then they’re asked to leave.

Answer #3

I would say definitely dont let your son go over to the house, but I think it would be a good idea to let her go over to your house. This way she would be in a good healthy environment where she can learn morals and how to not be like the rest of her family, but instead understand the different types of living styles that there are so that she can make her own choice of how she wants to live. Being in a good environment even for a short amount of time could change her life drastically.

Answer #4

Well, you know the kids have to be learning it somewhere. If not all at school, you can pretty much guess the parents are talking that way as well. Considering you have understood what they have said about u—well, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

I definitely wouldn’t allow him to go there anymore, but if that’s the only real friend he has right now it wouldn’t be fair to shut him off at this point. He’s going through a lot adjusting to being with Dad, the anxiety issues you have mentioned–I think it would be best to continue to let them carry on their friendship, only at your house from now on. Its tough with kids when they hear things that really confuse them and ask questions of us that I don’t parents were being asked 30 years ago.

No, he is truly better off not going there ever again. Hopefully, they won’t act like the a**es the truly are and forbid her to come to your house anymore. Its hard to watch your kids suffer for what the parents feel is right. But, it may end up coming down to that so I would warn him ahead of time, just so he’s not too shocked if it happens.
