[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think she violated her DD's privacy. She obviously hesitated, but obviously trusted you and your DD to be supportive people.

Stop over-thinking this. You're being unfair to her.[/quote]

really? I suspect you are not the parent of a teen.  This mom needs to learn that her child isn't an extension of herself.  She can confide in a close friend if she wants, but she shouldn't be telling her daugher's story in passing.

OP - What you should take away from this is that Darla's mom can't be trusted with a confidence.  Beyond that, just pretend you don't know.  It isn't your story to tell.  [/quote]

You're right, I'm not a parent of a teen.

It doesn't seem like she was "telling her daughter's story in passing." And the fact that you take this to mean Darla's mom is untrustworthy seems unreasonable.[/quote]

At some point around middle school, you really have to stop talking about your children's details to everyone who is not a close friend.  I get the feeling these moms are friends, but not confidantes.  You just start to keep your mouth shut.  Darla's mom clearly doesn't know this yet.  How would Darla feel to know that there were moms in the community that knew anything at all about her sex life?  Do you talk about yours?[/quote]
