Oh yeah, you've been burned once. Don't volunteer to take the heat again.
Don't be surprised to see this girl make a dramatic change over the next two to three years unfortunately. It seems inevitably when I've crossed paths with these moms over the years their kids rebel more and more in the middle school years or on entry to high school. The clashes get nasty and the kids generally wind up going very, very wrong, at least for a period of time to spite mom. A lot of these kids wind up behaving in ways that you won't want your kid hanging around with. DD has a good friend she's been close with since kindergarten. Luckily the kid has kept her head on straight despite mom's completely irrational demands -- including refusing her daughter the invitation to be in NHS, among other great opportunities. She's currently looking for a way to go to college far out state, but she's going to have to either go in debt or get a great financial package. It's sad.
