[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here- wow! So much judgement and hate already in this thread! Dcum never fails to dish up the vitriol.

Thanks to everyone kind for their reasonable responses. These are new friends and I’m not close enough with the woman to address it. Of course I understand and applaud it if the dad wants to spend time with his daughter on their weekends. She was lovely and a great guest. However, I would prefer not to spend my limited Saturday nights socializing with a 15 year old after being with my own kids all day.

I do think it may be an only child thing (she’s an only child on his side)[/quote]

I am trying to say this as kindly as possible but it does seem like you are either less laidback than your other friends and this may be an issue in approach and/or you don't know what it's like to have a 15 year old girl.  I have a teen close in age and she loves hanging with my friends and I love that they accept her.  It's a tough age and I am just absolutely so grateful that they include her and that she has other adult role models to look to for advice as I am more uptight than they are :)   Perhaps try to look at this as an honor or at least an opportunity to understand teens before you have your own.  Once she feels comfortable and accepted by your family, perhaps she will roam and leave you all or perhaps she is a gift to you to open your eyes to how you be a little less self-centered.[/quote]
