new issue to solve - need input

[Guest guest]

Hello again!

Well, my 14-year-old daughter and I have found a very nice family to

be friends with. We have not told nada about this family but this

family does know nada exists and have spoken with her once. Why?

Because they go to our church. The mom actually remembers my daughter

going to daily church about 10 years ago with nada. I hated to hear

that one. Once they remember nada being involved with my kid they

usually think she is a nice grandma - especially taking her to church

every day !

Anyway, the family wants to take my daughter to eat dinner after a

church function next Friday night. I will be at work. So, great

dilemma. Nada will be at the church function. If she sees my

daughter walking of with these people she will stick her nose into

everything and knowing her, even invite herself to go with them. This

is not unusual. When my boss for the independent contract job I have

asked all the office people to go out to eat both last year and also

this last Christmas, nada wanted me to ask him if she could go. She

even tried to call my boss to ask him herself !!! good lord.

Any suggestions on what to do if nada sticks her nose in our

friendship with this family? Because we are dumping all previous

acquaintances we had who were heavily involved with nada before -

mostly homeschool people. We are just going to disappear and not be

involved with them any more. NO great loss at all especially since

they are buying into nada tactics. So now we are just trying to make

our own friends that we can just call our own and not have to worry

about nada monkey wrenching our friendships again.

Thanks for anything you could possibly tell me!
