2 yo dd really dislikes being around one of my friends. I just noticed last night that all she does is quiz my daughter the entire time (What color is this, etc). What should I say to friend tactfully who adores my daughter and I don't want to offend? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

there's nothing you can really do. my boss is like that and she's also a friend to me but she doesn't have kids so you can't really explain it in a way that they won't take offense at. [ Reply | More

We have a friend who just has an odd disposition. Frankly, I didn't really like her when I first met her, but now I find her absolutely hysterical. My 3yo dd really doesn't like her and runs away from her when she is around. I've tried telling her that this woman is really nice and that I like her, but dd just says "no she isn't." and "no you don't." Now, I've just moved on to talking to dd about trying not to hurt someone's feelings. [ Reply | More

OP: That is so true to me. I'm not crazy about this woman (nothing weird about her -- just no chemistry, etc., opnions on so many things differ), but she's really taken to my dd & me. She invited us to family Xmas stuff. I always feel I should reciprocate a friendship unless person is evil. Wrong, I know. I think I'll encourage her to say "hi" with this explanation, but would never force her to be hugged, kissed, etc. [ Reply | More

I would not say anything. DD will encounter other people in her life who she doesn't much care for. Now is a good time to learn to deal. [ Reply | More

OP: "Deal" meaning what? Curious since my dd is often shy. I never force her to hug/kiss or be held but encourage her to say hi, even if it is while looking the other way. But, I was more curious how I could suggest to the friend to not do this so that she'd not feel badly when dd flees. It's obvious she felt bad last encounter. [ Reply | More
