It depends on the child and the influences they have on my child. I wouldn't end the friendship over the child's parents because their friend might benefit from a having a place to escape. I likely just would not let them stay over their friends house is all.
My mother sure did. If she didn.t like the kid, she would intercept phone calls.She would ask the school principal about the other kids lives. She never explained why, but in retrospect she was protecting me. As soon as i was able to I found lots of bad people to hang with so there was the rebellion manifesting itself. I have some good stories i should tell sometime! Can.t believe i survived. Shoulv.e been dead 1000 times over.
My house was the hangout for my kids and their friends because I encouraged it. I knew who I needed to watch and who was possible trouble. The kids knew the rules and I rarely had any issues.
I loved having all the kids at my house and never understood those parents that didn't allow sleepovers etc. Luckily, my kids made good choices in life and in friends.
My kids have had a hard time making friends. My daughter though made some. None of them are good people, and they like to gang up on each other. After some major drama at the end of the school year (which included these little bullies showing up at my door, not realizing I was home to threaten her and internet bullying- these small town nothings got VERY nasty, the MOUTHS on these 12/13 year old girls would shame a sailor), she was essentially "cut off" by them. She heard NOTHING from them til this past weekend. She left to walk the dog and came back home 45 minutes later with two of those little you-know-whats... just walked through my backdoor, sat down and started helping themselves to some soda and snacks.
My husband immediately told them that our daughter had some chores to do, and that they needed to leave. He said it nicely. Then we sat our daughter down, let her know that we understand she's lonely but told her that they were/are not welcome here. We value her much more than that and want HER to value herself more than that also.
Can't wait til we can leave this town and the horrible people we've met here
