I've been upset with a friend that I have known for quite a few years. We never fought, we were just good friends, and she comes over a lot. I guess my problem with her was her being over at my house too much. Over the summer, she spent EVERY night with us. Its to the point, where its like I have no privacy, or no room to breathe. I've talked to my mom mom about this numerous times, and its like she listens, but shes not taking action. I know my next answer would be to talk to my friend, I want to say something to her, but I don't think I could handle it. Recently, she told a friend of mine that she lies to get through to my family just to spend the night. She spent the night last night, which was a school night. She told my mom that her parents were out of town, so as always, my mom believed her, and she spent the night. Now, whats keeping her here is that my younger sister wants her over all of the time, so once she gets sent home, she comes right back because of my sister. I will not talk to my sister about this, shes just not, I just can't, shes really out of control and is selfish. I guess what I'm asking is, what should I do? And if I should talk to her, how should I go about telling her? I really don't want to tell her to her face, I can't reject someone like that, its really hard. I just can't take the lies and the insanity. Its hard to miss her when she never goes away.
What are my other two options other than talking to my sister, and my mom?
