I am good friends with my neighbor of 5 years. We've been out to clubs together a few times, loaned each other money on occasion, basically have had each others back from day one. My problem is we both are single parents with 4 children each, roughly around the same age. I teach my children to respect others and to pick thier battles, stay out of messy he-siad, she-said drama. However her children fight constantly and start alot of mess. Initially in the begining our children got along, but as time has passed, her teachings to her children clash with how I raise my kids, which means that our children clash. While my children are no punks, I tell them to walk away unless provoked. Her children like to instigate situations and provoke to give them a reason to fight. She condones at times, I don't. As parents of these children, it puts us in the middle because we are good friends. I'm ready to say good-bye to the friendship because of her parenting techniques. What do you think
