[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 246990, member: 1233"] I think you may have to role play with Manster to get him to stand up for himself. Let him know that no matter how confident someone looks on the outside, everyone has something they are sensitive about (the way he is about his weight). I would flat out let them know that R needs to be picked up at swimming by her mom because Manster needs to go home and get ready for the next day. Let T know if you are still willing to give her a ride to swimming (if you are), but put that limit in there for afterwards. does Dad know that Manster has a hard time with R? It might be good if you could approach HIM about arranging activities that are R-free. I don't know T, but I know some parents of difficult child's welcome being told "my child does not enjoy your daughter because of her behavior to him" and some parents of difficult children really go bonkers if you say that. So use some caution here - it could mess up dad's living arrangements, or even mess up dad's willingness to spend time with Manster. You could even end up with dad putting a lot of pressure on Manster that he just doesn't need. It can be a touchy situation. with-o knowing the players in person, it is hard to judge. I do think it is a great idea to work on having Manster stand up for himself. [/QUOTE]
