This is why I'm trying to get all of the first 39 Nancy Drew books as printed before 1959. After that, the books were re-written to be "less racist" (basically things like black housekeepers were viewed as racist, so the solution was to turn them into white people), and Nancy was rewritten as a good girl 1950's style by making her less assertive than her original self.
Dawn says that Carol is too old to act like she’s one of their friends at 32--Cause being friendly is something that goes out of style once you hit a certain age. It's not so much that Carol's trying to be their best friend who'll chat on the phone all night. She's going to be Dawn's step-mother (I think knew where it was headed), and was just trying to be nice to Jack's daughter and her friends ( ... )

I'd definitely label the BFF friendship as being on the unusual side and I can see where you or anybody else would have a problem with it. It gets even stranger how this kid is basically the factor on if the other people in your friends group can go somewhere or not if your friend is the one choosing the event.

Since most events are planned as adult-only, but are in places where kids can legally be, the girl can go since she's a leader of the group. We no longer have official outings places the girl can't go, or anywhere she doesn't want to go.

MJ also gets a bit of leeway where my friend doesn't, because MJ was mentally fucked up by his upbringing, and very likely was incapable of seeing the difference between adult and child.
If my friend was mentoring the girl, some hanging out wouldn't be an issue. But she plans events for our social society around the kid, cancels plans with other adults for the kid, got the kid a goddamned cell phone, is helping the girl sneak time with a boyfriend, basically acting like a pre-teen herself, a pre-teen with some money and a disregard for rules.
