[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I don’t want her eating all that crap. I just don’t. So I guess my option is to just say no to her going over there and say the friend can come to our house?[/quote]

Is your daughter otherwise never away from you?  Because at that age I spent all my allowance money on candy from the vending machines and school store all day long every day at school. We ate very healthily at home.  I never got fat. [/quote]

As a teenager, EVERYONE was eating junk food from the vending machine or at slumber parties or study sessions or whatever.  And the WORST were the girls whose mothers had lots of "food rules," or who were obsessed with being thin.

You have to decide if your kid maybe eating some licorice or chips every once in a while is worse than losing a good, sweet friend.

You also have to ask yourself why you think this girl's terrible eating habits will rub off on your kid, but your kid's supposedly stellar eating habits won't rub off on her friend.  Do you have so little faith in your own parenting and values?[/quote]
