[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC choose their own friends, they are teens, and I respect their decisions, with guidance of course.  Question:  what if you find the parents to be unbearable?  Does it affect who you allow your teen to spend time with?  There is a mom of the friend group who insists on arranging lunches and being "buddies" with the moms of the DC friends.  She seems into what some people call "social engineering", and really "aware" of appearances (people, clothes, house, etc. - which would not be offensive if the behavior wasn't outwardly aggressive).  I am not all that interested, nor are the other moms.  We feel she has ill intent, as she is a known gossip.  In fact, we are not all that confident that she her planning get togethers are not for gossip related reasons.  We have heard her talk about one fo the moms in an unfavorable light, and her depiction is inaccurate (we have known that particular mom for years, and there are one or two Queen Bee moms, who gossip mom and a couple others bow down to, but we are not involved or interested).  The mom she talked about is kind, thoughtful and genuine - maybe that is why the mean moms don't like her.  LOL.  We talk about other things, but I (and a couple of the other moms) just aren't feeling it.  We get together out of obligation. Obviously, no one wants to stand up and declare that they are not interested and why, should we just give this the slow fade? [/quote]

How old are the kids? Is this private or public? Private is more social I find. How often are these lunches? Monthly? Yearly?[/quote]
