As parents, we often brace ourselves for that awkward moment when our child becomes friends with another kid whose parents we find unbearable. But what happens when the parents aren’t the issue? No matter how close the friendship is, there’s only so many times you can say, “Your kid just tackled mine” or “Your little one is hoarding all the toys like a treasure-guarding dragon” before it strains the bond.
So how do you break the news to a friend that their child is less than lovable? Sometimes, candidness is the best approach. To help you navigate this tricky scenario, I’ve composed a mock breakup letter that’s both humorous and cathartic. (Disclaimer: This letter is purely for entertainment purposes. Always be kind to your friends and their little ones, no matter how challenging they may be. But let’s be honest, we’ve all encountered a kid like this at some point. So, enjoy the chuckle.)
