[quote=Anonymous]First off, you are taking the word of a tween, who live to exaggerate, to ban a friendship based on hearsay seems crazy. Next time, show up late to “bring Larla her allergy meds or forgotten toothbrush” and see for yourself. Maybe the “high schooler” already graduated and is 18, in which case both of those things might not be that serious if true.

Secondly, if these parents ARE permissive like that, they aren’t going to give 2 rips if you always host. If it comes up, you can just say your dd struggles to sleep outside her bed so you prefer to have them at your house. No sense making drama telling the truth.

Thirdly, even if banning friendships worked, these girls are 11, you have a few years and friendship circles change. When and if kids start to seek out teen party experiences they usually ditch their old friends and find new friends with the same interests. Your daughter come 8th grade will either decide to do that herself and attract those friends, or they will reject her if she’s not interested. That you think you can control that by controlling her friendships is silly.
