[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 417313, member: 84"] I also think you made a good decision. I've had my kids ask me to "take on" various difficult child friends over the years and each time it was a firm No. Not because I didn't care about the kid, but because I had enough dealing with my own, I didn't need someone else's difficult child added to the mix.....even once mine were grown. Instead I've chose to offer a helping hand upon occasion when I've felt it would be most beneficial. I still do this with Nichole's bff fairly regularly, but trust me it's not the same as having them living in your home and up in your face 24/7. Nichole has another close friend I care about too who is currently spiraling on a self destruct spiral that we've both had to detach from. Sad, but there is nothing else to do at this point. But in both cases, we're not friends per se with the parents. So there is no tension there. [/QUOTE]
