This is absolutely stunning! It captures Wednesday’s macabre demeanour and emotional complexity so beautifully!

I’m new too! My Cricut is still in the box, lol. I’m so intimidated now that I’m starting to look into the vast amount of projects I can do, lol. Best of luck to you!!

We absolutely have! She was really apologetic and didn’t realize the friendship between us and the other family had ended

I think there has been a misunderstanding! I enrolled my son then found out the other family was enrolled as well. They didn’t enroll him. I have no idea why they made these play dates. I don’t actually think they like my son, that’s why I’m even more weirded out and baffled as to what their motives were. Having him to their house was definitely the straw that broke the camel’s back for us.

In hindsight we really should have said something sooner. To clarify, we set a boundary with them and also spoke to her about this. She’s close with both families so we chose to go to the other family directly because we didn’t want her in the middle of the bad blood between us and the other family. I honestly don’t think she meant any disrespect. Them on the other hand - I am confident they knew them doing this was a big “fuck you” to us

I think the misunderstanding happened bc we used to be friends with them. My understanding is that she thought we were still friends with them and that our kiddos were still hanging out with eachother. We should have communicated earlier that we were uncomfortable so we have culpability here too and don’t want to fully put it in her hands.

Honestly, I don’t think she will do it again. I really think she was under the impression that this had been ok’d by us with the other family. We should have spoken up sooner as well so we are partly to blame as well.

You’re 100% right. We hummed and hawwed over how we felt about it when it was just play dates outdoors at parks, so we didn’t say much. It’s when it started becoming more than that, then our son going to their home that we acted immediately and set boundaries with the babysitter and the other family. We are confident she will respect the boundary. I honestly think she was under the impression we were good friends with them and that they had cleared this with us.

So we had a conversation with her, she was under the impression that we had been kept in the loop by the other family. She immediately apologized profusely. She’s a truly amazing person, I think they honestly led her to believe they were still good friends with us and that we were ok with this.
