[QUOTE="Andy, post: 406710, member: 5096"] Jen, I know it is late where you are. My advise would have been to tell her that you MUST be able to speak with the friend's mom. It is scary not knowing where your child is even if you do feel it is a good friend. My concern with her staying over there tonight is too much time spent with another kid trying to solve things on their own level. easy child needs help from adults, not the direction of a well meaning same aged friend. Also, no matter how well meaning the friend's family is, they also can not be putting the plans into action that they think will solve this. They do not really know what is going on in easy child's life outside of her version of things. So, if you do choose to allow her to stay, the 1st condition is that you get to talk to the friend's mom NOW!!!! You need the address and phone number. The mom NEEDS your phone number also! The friend's mom does not need to know the entire details of easy child's life, just that "easy child is having a difficult time right now. Are you really o.k. with having an extra person in your house tonight? Here is my phone number in the event plans change and you need me to come get her." Maybe compromising in this way will help the situation for tonight? Give you both time to breath and think about how to approach it tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
