OK i dont care about the 13 yr old boy with makeup. MAYBE he has been in trouble and she CANNOT leave him alone. I knew a kid who at 13 set fire in the drained swimming pool so they dragged him everywhere they went.
Maybe she is having trouble with him and it is a punishment of sorts. No worse than me dragging my 2 yr old boy with me to Sephora. They arent happy to be there, but too bad.
I only would worry if he actively interfered with the conversation or the purchasing of goodies.
13 yo can get in LOTS of trouble. That is when you have to watch them the most to be honest.
Don't we all, they are the same couples that always want to bring their kids to events you try to plan for just adults too lol.
One of my friends who I hadn’t seen in months brought her 4 year old son out with her when we went on a shopping trip. She spent the whole day trying to control the little brat (NO I don’t think all kids are brats before people start jumping on me, but he is spoilt and a tantrum thrower) and we couldn’t even have a conversation. It was a nightmare.
Some people "lol" at me when I say that, but I'm actually being honest. Why bring a kid or KIDS into this world when eventually I'm going to resent their existence? I love to be able to "have things". I can't see myself honestly accepting to have to give things up for someone else. So, I'm pretty much choosing to not be a parent because I don't think I would be a very good one.

Yes, the disclaimer always work with some moms. *No, not all are brats*
I've been there. You say to yourself, son of a biscuit eater. How did I get here.
Does anyone know of a polite way to let your friend know it isn't cool to bring their kid along when it's supposed to be just mom time? I'm experiencing this with a friend of mine. We used to met once a week just us for hanging out. It was so nice since we're both stay at home moms and around kids 24/7. It's nice to have adult time without the kiddos around to relax and chat. But her oldest was suspended from school and they are now homeschooling so she brings him everywhere with her - including to our once a week visits. I've tried to be understanding but it's to the point where I really don't enjoy the once a week visits anymore. It's not HER, it's the kid. The whole point of us getting together was to have some adult conversation and relaxation time away from the kids. I'm not sure how to put it to her politely without harming the friendship. It feels like a tough situation.
