[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are teens.  Parents can only do so much to intervene in the relationship.

How do they know -- DC shares with Friend, Friend shares with their parent.  That's how.

No need to be unkind here.  I am asking for help amidst a struggle.  [/quote]

Order DC not to share privileged family info with the other child, and do not socialize with that child's parents. How is this complicated?[/quote]

+1 If DC does not comply, loses time with friend.[/quote]

Clearly not the parent of a teen.[/quote]

Yes, I do have a teen, one who really really does not want to lose privileges like internet access and phone. [/quote]

Controlling and abusive.[/quote]

Omfg thinking that limiting your kids access to phone an internet is ABUSIVE is everything that's wrong with modern parenting. Get a clue. [/quote]

Thinking you can and should control your teenage child's conversations  with their friend is controlling and something that generally happens in abusive families so the abuse stays secret. Is that clear enough for you?[/quote]

Telling your teen to keep certain things private is controlling and abusive?? That is the most ridiculous thing I've read on here in awhile.

I guess if your teen saw your banking information it is OK to tell anyone/everyone how much money you have? If your teen overhears you discussing medical information on the phone that's OK to share? Your spouse goes to AA and that's OK to bring up with all their classmates? Or maybe you have mental health issues and they tell all their friends you are a judgmental control freak and your therapy meds need to be increased. [/quote]

+1 We have always shared a lot with our kids bc they are nosy and have really good hearing. But we have always prefaced certain conversations with this is X family business only and you do not share with anyone. Most recent is dh might be transferred (emphasis on might). Dh wanted to get their thoughts bc it is voluntary and they are in college so it affects them less (but still does affect them). Ds has adhd and is impulsive and wanted to know if he could tell people at his summer job he might be moving. We said no and told him we’d let him know when he could tell. Op, you need to make clear to your dd not to share certain things and you need to tell the other parent that you have everything under control. If getting it under control will take some time, keep your dd away from the other parent in the meantime.[/quote]
