[quote=Anonymous]If you like the parents, and your daughter is close to the girls, I'd just be a bit more direct about your house rules. For friend #1: Clear, consistent answers to the treat requests. (No maybes, no changing your mind.) If she keeps asking, tell her you've answered the question and that it's rude to keep asking. On the issue of comparing: I'd let your DD know that you think that such comparisons are rude (so that she doesn't adopt that habit), but I'd probably be vague with friend #1: "It's nice that share that interest, but it doesn't really matter how many either of you have." For friend #2: Clear, consistent answers about getting together. If she calls Monday and you know you won't be wanting a get-together until the weekend, then tell her that. And stop answering her calls if she keeps it up! And for the painting, just reiterate your house rules. "Every house is different. In this house we paint in this room."[/quote]
