Another what would you do ?

I see you read posts as closely as Bagpuss?

She was a childhood friend - NOT her best friend - who she's drifted away from. SD's words, not mine.
My folks didn't know all my childhood friends, and not many of their parents. They knew my best friends of course...but once again, SD didn't say that, and you just made it up.

She's still friends, that means they've known each other for the best part of a decade. Yes my parents knew all the parents of friends of mine that remained friends for that long, I mean for goodness sake we're talking years.

Well I think there's enough of a connection that this isn't poking noses into other people's business. It is the daughter that raised this not an adult spying on kids in a disco.

Am I being irrational. Who knows? but I very much doubt it.

If you were to read the original post, these families have been friends for more than a decade.

Please point this out to me.

The logical reasoning is as follows:

Snady's daughter is 17, this is a childhood friend, I presume therefore they were friends I take this to mean they went to school together and by the time they were 7 or 8 they were friends. The daughter is now extremely concerned, so it is still a very close friend of the daughter. Well OK maybe the parents aren't close friends, but the friendship between the daughter and the friend is sufficiently strong to take responsibility. After all Sandy's daughter just might get dragged into this mess, she doesn't want to break up the friendship and is very upset.

If you consider my reasoning irrational so be it. But I have to confess that I would have difficulty understanding your logic.

She's still friends,

Who is, Sandy? No she isn't!!! She never said that!!

I am soooooooooooooo bored with this thread now

Youwhut - you're on your own kid. Keep up the good work x x

[youwhut]

I am willing to accept that my approach would be very different to yours.

Peace pipe?

Please point this out to me.

Even though Blaster has spelt it out for you how is it relevant exactly how long they have known each other? It is a friendship that has spanned a long time. Typically as a parent I know the parents of my kids good friends and would feel obliged to mention something like this to them. End of.

[BlasterBates]

No Sandy's daughter.

I suspect you're bored with this thread because it is now clear that you didn't read the original posting clearly. I'm getting bombarded with private messages of agreement.

By the way thx folks and I've cleared out private message you can continue to send.

Yeah peace man

SA, when I said drifted away recently I meant in the last couple of months, in teenage timelines a couple of months is like a life time… anyhow yes its one of her best friends, in fact the three of us went to China this last summer and toured various regions, her parents are not my best friends, but I know them well. As I said this matter has already been resolved and the parents are in the picture now ( didn’t need to tell them, they found out through another source)

This is not the issue through – the issue is you seem to think its OK for teenagers to dabble in drugs, and you sincerely think its harmless to start a drug habit.

Sandy, do you know how her parents found out?
