[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. They're both female and  my daughter met her at her summer job, they hang out together doing normal teen stuff,  like going out to  eat and shopping, beach and the girl brings her kids along who are 2 and 1.

She was  going on about how cute the children are so I'm worried she has the wrong idea.

Cutting off the friendship isn't going to get you anywhere with your daughter. If you're concerned she's getting the wrong impression of teen parenthood, find opportunities for constructive, non-judgmental conversation with your daughter about her friend. "Juggling a job and two kids must be hard for Sue. Does she have good support at home?"

Also, doing things with two little kids in tow may be a fun novelty for a while, but before too long it's probably going to lose it's appeal to your daughter and the friendship will likely fade at that point. Especially once the summer is over and they're not seeing each other at work all the time.[/quote]
