[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 34359, member: 2315"] I too am with DDD on this one. I do not think it is wise to be trying to get into a group with the parents of the very kids you object to your son hanging with. I cannot see anything good comming out of that. Some might be very much on the defensive others very adversarial. I have to recall a situation with my next door neighbor. Her daughter and my difficult child grew up together. They had the same daycare provider. they attended each other's birthday parties throughout grade school and frequently talked and played neighborhood ball together. They exchanged birthday and christmas gifts for years.
