[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a pool.  DD has friends who like to use the pool - I have absolutely NO problem with kids wanting to swim in it (that's why we got it, after all) but what exactly do you do when the conversation goes like this?  DD showed me some over her texts and I'm not sure how to tell her how to proceed:

Friend: Can we swim tonight?
DD: sure!  Want to come over at like 7?
Friend: 7???  That's so late!!!  Can't we swim at like 6
DD: no, my dad doesn't get home until 6:30 so we're not done eating until after 6:45 sorry!
Friend: ugh, whatever, well idk if I can even come over anymore 
[b]DD: ugh, whatever, I'll find plenty more people who can come over and will be cool with our rules.[/b]

Friend: Can we swim today?
DD: no, parents aren't home and they don't want us using the pool when they're gone
Friend: That's so stupid!!!  I promise I can swim
[b]DD: Yup, soooo stupid. If you want, I can leave too and you can swim alone and there will nobody to call 911 on your stupid drowned self[/b]

I'm kidding, and your DD can be above all this, but wow those kids are rude.

Agreed.  My DD has a tendency to be a bit of a doormat so I'm sure she would never say something like that, but to the first scenario she just said "Well, you don't have to come over..."

I thought that was appropriate and not too pushy.[/quote]
