We've had the initial meets and all has gone well. She seems to be a polite, clever and slightly quiet but interesting girl. My dd is 3yo however and I got the feeling the whole day with her was driving her slightly potty. Something we need to work on perhaps I've decided that being a friend and a different source of information would be something I could be happy with as am all too concious of not trying to become her mother.
I am very aware she is going to be a teen soon and remember my teens all too well. She doesn't have much contact with grandparents on either side and I do feel she finds her dad a little awkward to talk to (in her words "he is a bit weird. Nice weird, but you know, weird". He isn't from this country and sometimes his jokes are a bit off or too high-brow for them to be funny to a teen. So I feel she may at some point want to get advice on things, which is scaring me a tad already!
Anyway, there's the background and a bit about the set up. Really just want some do's and dont's if possible?
