If you continue to let the children play with her children, are you prepared to provide constant supervision? The lack of parental responsibility by this lady will be a part of her children's personality. Do you want them rubbing off on your children? Better to cut ties than to have the kids grow old together and have her kids poorly influence your kids. There are plenty of kids out there, no need to make excuses or compromise your children's social development.

We have a couple of boys in our subdivision that our boys use to play with. It wasn't long before we realize they were bad influences (at about the age you kids are now). We talked to or kids and they stopped playing with those boys. Now I see we made the right decisions. I see those boys riding their bikes in the subdivision with no care for their own or other's safety while challenging cars for street right of way and cursing and screaming as they go down the street. One kid got put in an alternative school in jr high!
