my son’s 8yo best friend basically seems to have unrestricted access to YouTube streamers and makes all those weird ass sexual sounds when he’s playing video games (without knowing what they are) and is driving us insane

when he’s here we tell him to knock it off but tbh we can’t really explain much more than it’s inappropriate

don’t want it to rub off on my boy so we continually hound him about it when he’s here, but short of not letting them hang out anymore we are at a loss, and tbh I don’t want to just end the friendship because it really is his best bro and generally their friendship is great, smh

It's completely understandable that you're feeling frustrated and at a loss. You're trying to protect your son and maintain a peaceful home, while also valuing his important friendship. It's a tough line to walk.
