VERY awkward situation

You should live in an echo chamber and only associate with people exactly like you.

This seems fake but if it isn’t, I’d like to point out that apparently you thought this person was fine before you saw their instagram. If you know them well and they seem fine, then they’re fine. If you don’t know the, well then I’m not sure why you’d be letting your kid go to their house unaccompanied

Most of us do, and most of us care about who influences our young children. I only have one person in my circle who voted for Trump, and it's a miracle we get along, honestly.

But I agree the OP is a troll.

OMG, she's not going to indoctrinate your child into the world of Trump and drugs during a playdate. Geez!

It's somewhat believable. But it's always good to remind parents of little kids how frequently and quickly these kinds of things go sour. Most of us with older kids have had parent friendships of convenience that just fizzled out because the kids stopped liking each other. If you get too deeply involved when things go sour, you still have to see them at school functions and probably interact with them to some extent too. You are better off making friends that have nothing to do with your kids (like through work or community groups) and getting your kids together occasionally. If OP is for real, she is already too involved from her description of things.

You live you learn.

Yeah no. The mention of Trump is a dead giveaway. And marijuana. Two hot button topics on DCUM in one post? Yeah right.

NP. Hot topics and completely at opposite ends of the political spectrum. Which makes it seem as if OP is just trying to rile DCUM up on a Saturday night.

In the remote possibility that she does, you can counter whatever she says with explanations of your family’s values. Your daughter is getting old enough to start understanding those types of topics, and exposure to them is inevitable.

I don't know if I agree with this. Certainly most people don't talk politics to little kids, but I've had my kids come home from a playdate with full on political propaganda posters that someone else told them to make (slogans that they didn't understand the meanings of, etc).

Things that never happened....

Assumimg youre a troll. But if not, you only want your kid hanging out with people who feel the same way you do?
I wouldn’t hang out with a friend who was openly a maga. Like on their SM, bumper stickers etc. But I’m not ginna do a deep dive into all my friends SM and see what the like and don’t like. If I enjoy their company I’m good to go.

This is why you don’t do the whole follow social media thing.

OP here. Listen, I got an eight-year-old and a five-year-old, not to mention a full-time job! Where do you think I would get the energy to "rile DCUM up on a Saturday night"? lol.

As for the marijuana and Trump being opposite ends of the political spectrum, it is weird and I don't know what to tell you other then Trump supporters don't tend to think things through.

We are conservative republicans. I know some parents who despise trump and may not have my kid over if they knew we voted for him.

And that is how I know you're not a parent.

A mother must always think twice; once for herself, and once for her child.

The only thing on the list that would bother me is if she’s pro marijuana. I don’t want that around my kids (the drug or even the idea that the drug is okay).

Not true. MAGA is pro drugs.,

[Anonymous]

I would come up with an excuse so I wouldn’t have to visit or let my kid visit. First, because if the danger pot drugs and pot trump present. Second, because association with these people will be bad for you and your daughter.
