So after all of my ponderings in this thread, it dawned on me...my "friend" is so passive-aggressive that *I* feel bi-polar when dealing with her. No, we aren't going on a trip with her, I considered it, but since I *never* know how quickly my friends mood will change from amicable to aggressive, we decided to pass. In face, the best course of action, IMO, is to start distancing ourselves. The kids will still see eachother at public get togethers, but I won't have Boo go over alone (she never has, but I have considered it). Given the types of comments the other mom makes re: Boo directly to me or Boo in my presence...I don't even want to imagine what she would say if I weren't around. I always end up feeling bruised after talking with the other mom.
Not gonna go there!
Thanks for "listening" as I worked through this.
