[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My question to you, op is why does it bother you?  So your friend thinks her DD can do no wrong....how does this affect you directly?  Leave it alone unless the DD is blaming your DD otherwise it is none of your business.   Seriously just worry about your relationship with your own children.[/quote]

Because she tells me the stories in an incredulous tone like her kid couldn't possibly be involved. It involves my children sometimes because when they break the rules there are consequences and her child doesn't end up with any consequences because she denies involvement. My kid is learning that lying gets you out of consequences. I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, but the mom is telling me that other parents and school staff are talking to her about her kid's involvement in situations but she refuses to believe it and it's frustrating to listen to. She wants me to be a supportive friend about it but I find it difficult to be in this situation. [/quote]

I posted before - your situation is more involved but your friend sounds just as clueless. And even more frustrating that she's complaining to you and likely expecting commiseration.

I still feel like if you want to keep this friend you should tell her your opinion. I'm not sure how to say to it but others have made some good suggestions. Direct is usually best.[/quote]
