[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 220118"] I'm having trouble understanding the situation, but this statement stood out. I tell my kids all the time that parenting is not a popularity contest and it is my job to look out for their best interests; they can hate me if they want. They'll get over it. They might not get over something bad happening to them by placing themselves in a bad situation/environment. I guide them in making good choices, but if they are unable to I step in and make it for them. It would be nice if the other mother would do the right thing. But, she's not and likely isn't going to. So, you're going to have to be the bad guy and lay down the law. [/QUOTE]
