Something has been bothering me for a while and I finally said something yesterday. Addison has a friend who lives near us. This friend has been over to our house several times and Addison has been there for birthday parties etc. they have been in the same class, ride the bus together and done Girl Scouts together. This child has told Addison several times that she can't play at our house unless I am home but they invite Addison over for play dates when the mom is not home. I thought it was just the mother being cautious since he is a Male and she is a little girl, but then I have noticed that the girl is allowed to ride her bike in the neighborhood unattended. This all doesn't add up to me. Yesterday I got off work early intentionally to spend some quality not rushed time with my girls and before I knew it, three neighborhood girls were at our house playing with us. Chad got home a little after 4 and when he walked in, the child said to him after she jumped in surprise " You know I am not supposed to be around you!" This got my blood boiling as she made him feel unwelcome in his own home. The play date ended shortly after since I had to take Addi to the orthodontist anyway. I couldn't let it go last night so I sent a text to the mom asking if there was a reason she felt that it was unsafe for her daughter to be around my husband. She has yet to respond. Do you find this odd? Should I not have said anything to spare Addi's friendship with the girl?

I think you did the right thing. She may have an explanation (although I can't imagine what) but if not she needs to address why she would be creating fear in a child. Do you really want Addi to be around a family like that?
She sent me a text today asking if we can meet to discuss it.
