[quote=Anonymous]Yes. I have done this.  Happened around the same time - 5th grade and into 6th grade.  Girl was smart and part of a tight group of friends that included my daughter.  Mom was an alcoholic and spent a lot of time at the local bar. Girl ended up at my house many nights past 11pm with no ride home. I'd take her home and she would be locked out and not able to get in. She also told DD about numerous men that spent the night at her house.

I felt bad for her until she started acting out - started stealing her mom's vape pen and bringing it to school and pressuring DD into vaping in the bathroom (at age 11). She also starting "dating" a 16 year old boy (she could easily pass for 16 at age 12).

I had to have the hard convos with my daughter that she was not ready for at that young age.

Our rule was friend could come to our house but she had to have a ride home at a reasonable hour and DD was never allowed to go to her house.

Eventually they stopped being friends because DD was uncomfortable with her behaviors.  [/quote]
