[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand what the problem is unless your daughter doesn't actually want to spend all that time with Larla?[/quote]

Good question.

I think the problem is that she's not respecting any boundaries we're trying to place, including the basic performance of chores (pick up your room, feed and care for your animals, take a shower more than once a week) in desperation to spend time with Larla. Or that she won't even come home to spend a few minutes with us (although I guess that latter thing really is full-on teenager so doesn't bother me so much).

I also am concerned about lack of supervision when she and Larla are together. I don't know that the parents are really paying attention, and if Larla is urging DD to do things like lie to her parents, I fear she's not the best influence in general.[/quote]

I also feel like this morning was telling. She asked, received an answer of "yes" and was still getting pressure from Larla to come over RIGHT AWAY even though they had been together for the previous 24 hours since school let out yesterday and were going to be together for the next 24. Like she couldn't take an hour while I was on the phone for work to do her chores. And then was resentful when I said yes, but in an hour.[/quote]
