Sooo who wants to hear Wx vent?

When we first moved back up here MrsWx opened an in home daycare and became very close friends with one of the moms as our boys were just a few weeks a part in age. The boys spend every weekday together for 3.5 years and are basically best friends, have sleep overs etc. etc. we get closer with them as well. Then their marriage fell on hard times and unknown to us at the time she started cheating on her husband and it never recovers.

MrsWx closes the daycare to go to nursing school and struggles with the friend due to her constantly lying to her so they don't talk and are more acquaintances now. The boys go their separate ways but because they were so close are always the ones they ask for when we ask who they want to invite to something even though they have not really seen each other. The mom recently contacted us as her son had asked if our son could sleep over. We will not allow that as the situation was unknown to us, at least an hour away from what we have been told in the past her current partner that she lives with has a history of physical and emotional abuse along with drug and alcohol usage/abuse.

So this is the first time that we pulling the no not going to happen card. Kind of feel guilty but at the same time I am not comfortable with letting my child go into that environment. Would likely be fine but just not something I am comfortable with.

You might consider inviting the boy over to YOUR home for a sleepover. It sounds like he could use some time in a stable family environment, even if it's just an overnight.

We are debating doing that. Might invite him along to our little overnight at Grand Harbor for LittleWxs birthday next month.

Was going to joke and ask for photos of the mom, then as I read I felt sad for the kid and your situation. Encourage new friends and maybe be blunt with the mom and she probably will make the break herself.
 
Having gave blood yesterday. They told me I could check my account online and see if I was positive or not for anitbodies. So I check my account online and see I have these points sitting there. I could actually get their biggest gift of a jacket if I chose to. Interesting.
 
Posting this so everyone knows where I stand/sit...

I'm cheering for the winner of the AFC Championship game in the Super Bowl.

Are you good with having the kid over instead? That way you've got way more control over it. Not sure how you word it so the other mom doesn't get ticked off.
