Is this new behavior?
Quote From: jeanniesknI had a friend for 6 years. I have two children and so does she. Our two oldest are in the same grade and our two youngest are in the same grade as well. Just before summer this year I confronted her on some issues that had been bothering me. She would discipline my children for things she wouldn't discipline her own children for. She doesn't even discipline her children (ie: time out or in their room) yet she would time out "my" children in my home, in front of me! Her youngest son would get in my children's faces yelling and trying to hit them and "my friend" would do nothing to stop him. So I asked her to stop disciplining my children and to discipline her own when they are behaving badly. Keep in mind, at the same time I let her know she is still my best friend and I care deeply for her, I just wanted to be honest and have no more hard feelings. Well that ended our friendship. She said I was disrespectful for saying this to her. What was so wrong with my being honest with my "friend" of 6 years?.......... Has your friend always been so free with advice and discipline regarding YOUR children, but not her own? If she's always been like this, I would wonder why you put up with it for so long. If it's new behavior, then there might be something wrong that she is taking out on you and your kids.
Same goes for her kids, have they always been in your kids faces, hitting and yelling? If this is all new, something might be up at home.
