[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This doesn't sounds obsessive.  It sounds like besties.[/quote]

Besties, yes, but it also sounds like Larla doesn't have a parent setting many boundaries. Which may be because they are checked out, or it may be because Larla is their youngest (or younger than the teen).

OP, I had a friend my mom didn't like and she got annoyed by us trying to spend time together. My friend's mom was checked out (too busy going on dates) and we did have a lot more freedom at her house (and there were boys and alcohol involved at times when we were 15). But she was also a good friend who cared for me. Just hold firm to your rules but maybe also see if Larla can spend more time at your house? Or maybe you could do something with them to try to feel more comfortable about Larla (like take them for manicures...I have boys, I have no ideas what girls do).[/quote]

PP again. Also, my friend was lonely. She was looking for friendships to fill the place where her mom should have been. Don't know if that is true for Larla, but just a thought.[/quote]
