[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be clear, I am not patting myself on the back, nor am badmouthing my daughter’s friend’s parents to my daughter. I have said some choice words about them in private to my DH, but that is my right.
My daughter is extroverted and social and for the most part does make her own plans, but they are usually “let’s take Carla with us to the mall” and then she invites Carla over text and tells her when we’re picking her up. It’s like she has already assumed the role of social coordinator, and I hate that it may stay that way as long as her circle of friends remains the same. I’m trying to figure out if I should break this trend now before it’s too late.

Wait, you have choice words about your DDs friends’ parents because your DD suggests inviting her friend to do something with you, and you agree? I have an 11 year old who is happy to hang out with friends but equally as happy to just have some down time at home. So if a friend invites her to do something she says yes more often than  not, but she doesn’t have the need to be with friends constantly during her down time. If she says to me hey can you take me and Larla to the movies, I’ll do it but she is not asking for that every weekend. You either want to do this for your DD or you don’t, but stop blaming the other parents for the fact that they may not want to.[/quote]
