[quote=Anonymous][quote]I also feel like this morning was telling. She asked, received an answer of "yes" and was still getting pressure from Larla to [b]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[/b][/quote].

this is SUCH a teenager thing.  And you don't know it's pressure from Larla.  the texts could've looked like this:

Your DD:  I can't come until after an hour because my mom has a work call.  I'm so pissed I could scream.  I want to come over right now, but of course my mom can't drive me!! can your mom or sister come get me?
Larla: Okay - I just checked and my sister could come pick you up.  go ask your mom if that's okay.

And I know you realize this but you keep harping on that ONE time you caught Larla telling your dd to lie.  You need to realize that one lie as a pre-teen or whatever doesn't make the character of a person.  Your dd has a best friend.  As teen girls best friends want to spend every waking moment together.  Trust me when I tell you that it's not all Larla's idea.[/quote]
