[quote=Anonymous]Do NOT uninvite her it’s bad social faux pas. I would suggest inviting the said child to an informal lunch at your home and laying out your expectations that she is permitted to attend as long as she does not bring any drug paraphernalia with her. Teens often make bad choices, especially when their home life may be uphending. No it’s not your job to try to fix that, but compassion would be nice. You never know when you or your child could find yourselves in need of a little extra compassion during a trying time.

You don’t need to explain yourselves to your parent/peer social group other than you are trying to be compassionate.

[b]Obviously that doesn’t mean your DD should continue to hang out with the invited person but show your daughter you do not uninvite people to a party because of a bad personal choice they made. That amounts to social exclusion and now-a-days social outcasts shoot up parties, schools, etc. They also commit suicide. You DO NOT want this blood on your conscious over something so minor as a party. People who become social outcasts or have mental health problems never remember what you say but they do remember how you made them feel.[/b]

Continue to make clear to your DD that drugs of any kind is unacceptable.

Someone mentioned earlier to fill out your DD’s summer social calendar. I concur. Your daughter does not have to be good friends with the child but they can be friendly (as in if I see you I’ll chat but we are not going to seriously hang out)[/quote]
