The only thing on the list that would bother me is if she’s pro marijuana. I don’t want that around my kids (the drug or even the idea that the drug is okay).

I wouldn’t hang out with a friend who was openly a maga. Like on their SM, bumper stickers etc. But I’m not ginna do a deep dive into all my friends SM and see what the like and don’t like. If I enjoy their company I’m good to go.

And that is how I know you're not a parent.

A mother must always think twice; once for herself, and once for her child.

It's somewhat believable. But it's always good to remind parents of little kids how frequently and quickly these kinds of things go sour. Most of us with older kids have had parent friendships of convenience that just fizzled out because the kids stopped liking each other. If you get too deeply involved when things go sour, you still have to see them at school functions and probably interact with them to some extent too. You are better off making friends that have nothing to do with your kids (like through work or community groups) and getting your kids together occasionally. If OP is for real, she is already too involved from her description of things.

You live you learn.

Yeah no. The mention of Trump is a dead giveaway. And marijuana. Two hot button topics on DCUM in one post? Yeah right.

NP. Hot topics and completely at opposite ends of the political spectrum. Which makes it seem as if OP is just trying to rile DCUM up on a Saturday night.

In the remote possibility that she does, you can counter whatever she says with explanations of your family’s values. Your daughter is getting old enough to start understanding those types of topics, and exposure to them is inevitable.

I don't know if I agree with this. Certainly most people don't talk politics to little kids, but I've had my kids come home from a playdate with full on political propaganda posters that someone else told them to make (slogans that they didn't understand the meanings of, etc).
