I have been friends with this girl since grade school. We are now both out of school married and raising boys close to the same age. He thinks she manipulates me, which she can do sometimes. she especially tells me to give ger money when she is running low. but what bothers him most is that he doesn't think she respects me. For instance her son is a year older then my son and has some mild medical problems, nothing life threatening or anything like that. But she always makes it out worse then it is. Even when I know it isn't that bad ( she usually has me go to the doctor with her) and now she is saying that our son is behind in his speech. He isn't he does just fine. I don't know what to do. I don't have many friends as is and I am afraid of losing another. But i do feel stepped on most of the time. How do I broach the subject with her?

Talk to her honesty and opened. Dont attack her just tell her how you feel. Sometimes in life we have to let go of people that arent good for us anymore but that is your decision not your husbands. I suppose it all depends on how much you can handle.
Good luck

If you want to stay friends then maybe you should get some back bone, or just learn to put your foot down.When it comes to her needing money, when it comes to your son tell her not to worry about yours, and to focus on hers. Next time tell her sorry i'm busy and that you cant go to the Doctor with her, or even better you JUST dont feel like it. If you start to change your ways then she just might, i really dont think she is going any where to soon so you wont have to worry about losing her as a friend.

there's a saying in spanish
MEJOR SOLA QUE MAL ACOMPANADA, it meas better to be alone than with the wrong company, you don't need this kind of leach in your life, she's not a friend she's just using you.
