I don’t wanna watch this kid anymore.


Little back story, her parents (Mom and Dad) moved in a year ago behind our house. Our kids go to school together and there were a couple times I was asked to watch/ take her to school which was NBD.The fence connecting our houses came down during a wind storm. The fence belongs to their property (they own their home, we rent, our Landlords aren’t gonna replace their fence). They have yet to replace the fence in 9 months which whatever we all get along or so I thought.Our dogs get along and husbands and for the most part we do as well, so do the kids. The wife is my best friend one minute and the next she’s a total bitch to me. She literally treats me so ruthlessly our husbands both see it and any visitors if she’s around.We normally keep the kids and animal(s) that belong to our house in our yard unless they/we are invited over.Anytime I need to watch their kid I’m the wife’s best friend. Other than that she treats me like shit and won’t acknowledge me unless she needs something. She threatens her kid with putting them in daycare constantly which I wish she would, but it just seems like a threat to her kid since they were abused at their last “daycare” and the people running it we’re doing drugs. I’m trying hard to be nice so their kid has a place to be safe from anything bad but the kids a nightmare and so is the mom.My husband is tired of me watching their kid and so am I. Literally how do I deal with this without ruining my husbands friendship with her husband but distancing myself from her as well. I thought we were good friends till recently, I had friends from out of town at my house. My best friend told me shes shit talking me behind my back.The parents allow her to backtalk and be rude and her mom just screams or argues with their kid without any repercussions. I’m tired of the strife around my house with the kid here, and it’s making my children act rude and disrespectful.I asked my husband to approach the other husband about the situation but he said it’s on me, I know the kids mom is gonna flip the fuck out but I’m so tired of this shit. Her husband is cool but her and her kid are rude and manipulative as all get out. I don’t want to start shit but I’m so over this.I shouldn’t have to walk on eggshells in my own home we have been here 5 years. What do I do Reddit? Help me have a spine. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2Lj42iA
