My Mother and I do not like my brother's friend, can we stop them from playing?

It is better for you to let your brother realize the downside of his friend, by letting him know how you are affected and anniyed by what they do. Do it slow and sattle. It would be best that he descide on his own conviction than you telling him a "not to do" thing. I hope this helps

I would be inclined to keep a close eye on this friendship hun, possibly try to discourage it by suggesting that he plays with others instead, maybe only allowing him around if you supervise. Unfortunately kids that age are more likely to rebel if you place a total ban on the other kid so it might be a good idea to encourage your brother to play with other kids instead.

WEll, your mother could refuse to let your son go to this boy's house, and could refuse to let the child come to her house. But the more she pushes the boy away, the more rebellious your own brother could get, and they may spend more time together at school when you can't separate them. I would almost wonder if there is something going on at home? It sounds like they might have money problems, if the mom keeps scamming for free meals and such. I would wonder, if the boy talks like he does, if he is watching inappropriate TV shows, or lives in an abusive house. I might even consider calling social services to make sure the boy and his mother are OK.

I had to check your location because this sounded way too familiar. If I were your mother I would get to meet this boy's parents. Just get a feel for them. If I didn't think that the influence was from the parents I would speak to them...gently about what I had noticed in their son. If they are reasonable...most parents tend to get offended if it appears that someone is critical of their child, we could probably work on the problem. If not I would get my child away from them. Ten years old is way too young to be that dark. Sounds like there could be a problem here. :-( Good luck.

Yes, a mother has the right to stop their child from playing with someone that they don't want their child to be around, and there is a nice way to do this. What I do is say I am sorry you can't play today you either have homework, chores to do, or we may be going someplace so we will have to see about tomorrow. Just keep making up excuses, and soon the boy will go find someone else to bother.
