Let me tell you, Im 50yrs and use to be wild and crazy myself, but I learned along time ago, you take care of family things first, and family time, whats left is for friends within reason. Todays kids are so much different than before infact so are PARENTS!!! Im a licensed Medic and I see alot~~~Parents that let kids run the house, take full control and talk to them like there a kid themselves, NO RESPECT AT ALL!!!!
My kids are 32, 28yrs old boys, married, divorced and kids, girls 19yrs old and 15yrs old. My 19yr old went to live with dad at 14yrs old. BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER!!! She got into drugs, did them with dad infact, disrespects like crazy, has stolen, lies, etc etc...now my 15yr wants to live with dad, and after Hurricane Ike, I had no power/water for 2wks, and he snuck into court and took her!!! Im in a heavy legal battle 1yr later. My 15yr daug. who has always been very respectful, and family oriented,..chores, dinner with family, not a problem out of ....has already failed her 1st drug test with me, for pot...dad got onto her infront of me, gave her rules and week later...she was back out with the same crowd and dad let her....she stated that those parents of the kids let them get high!! And get high with them.
My daug. has had as much as 20,000 text in one month, doesnt want to follow rules, clean around here, wants to be with friends all the time, running around, just hanging out at there house. Ive had her for July...summer and she is her old self my little girl. With the exception of why cant I go, why cant I sleep over at so and so's why why why??? I tell her get mad all you want...cause when you get mad....it lets me know Im doing my job as a parent.
You have teachers now days that are the kids age and are "hanging" out with them, infact my daugs comes home and says my teacher so and so is living with my friend, there together or sleeping together...ITS NO BIG DEAL!!!! The world has gotten so bad. You have teachers that party with these kids of ours!!!!
MOM, YOU ARE NOT WRONG TO MAKE RULES FOR YOUR CHILD TO FOLLOW AND LIKE ME...I NEED A PHONE NUMBER, AND ADDRESS, A PARENTS FULL NAME, MEET A PARENT AND KNOW WHERE YOUR AT EVERY LITTLE MINUTE YOU ARE NOT WITH ME.
I had a parent come meet me,...I let my daug. go to Phobia haunted house left at 7pm curfew was midnight, she called to say they were haivng sooo much fun, and how scary it was, that she and her friend/parents were stopping to eat, when she saw it was 1130pm said she'd would be home after dinner. Well she called at 1220am to say she would be home in 10mins..she walked into my door at 110am!!!! I aksed her for the ticket stub, oh they didnt give us any...its a turnstyle you go through. that night I contacted them via email, I was told we give tickets stubs the size of a credit card, and no we dont have turnstyles. I confronted my daug. the next day. She had lied...daddy oks the lying its no big deal.
The parents...Oh they showed up to pick up my daug. meet me, and then THEY TAKE OFF HOME GIVING MY DAUG. AND HER FRIEND THE CAR TO GO WHERE EVER THEY WANTED...THEY EVEN CONTACTED ME TO TELL ME MY DAUG. WAS WITH THEM AND THEY WERE RUNNING LATE. SOME PARENTS!!!!! I was so angry.
STAY FIRM MOM...FOLLOW YOUR INSTICT AND YOUR LOVE FOR YOUR CHILD. MY DAUG. SINCE THEN KNOWS SHE CANT GET AWAY WITH LYING AND DOENST TRY IT SINCE OCT.

First off
for your legal battle. How awful to have that happen and have no say in it at all. I hope you are able to get that changed soon.
Second... It is sickening to me that parents would behave like this. Why would they do that?!! These people should not be parents because it sounds like they still need some parenting of their own!!
I do as you and insist on knowing who my DS is with and where they are. He has a cell phone and there is only 1 spot in town it doesn't work and that is the mall. Which consists of a grocery store, drug store and KFC! So if I am in town and he doesn't answer I had better be able to find him there!
He has a friend 2 years older than him that just got a drivers license. He came home and said he had ridden in Joeys car. I felt that sick feeling of worry and uncertainty.
It was then I realized things are changing. He will be a freshman this fall and I can literally feel myself getting grayer! Turns out the boy was at the same friends house I had left my son at. My DS was to meet my DH at a parking lot on main street. DH drives a semi and there is only 1 spot on the way home that he can stop and of course can't take the truck onto side streets.
My DS has a slight physical disability due to an accident 2 years ago. He can walk but does so with a very profound limp. So he tires easy and is unsteady and a little slow. Joey didn't want him to be late or fall because he was in a hurry.
I know the boys Mom and have known this boy for almost 3 years. I trust him but......
My little boy is growing up and things are changing so fast. This is my one and only. I don't want to mess him up!!! They should come with manuals!!

Right, and none of them lie. If they say they don't drink, then by golly, they don't drink.
/sarcasm off
No, I'm sorry, apparently they ALL lie ... except YOURS ..
/sarcasm off
No, I am sure she lies. I am not that naive. I just want to limit the number of things that she has to lie about.
I am sure that your child has never done anything of which you would not approve. I am certain of it, so you can rest easy. YOU have done a good job, unlike some of us slacker parents.

Hikerchick,
Uhm... if you and Texasgal have "personal issues" with one another then take it to PM off the forums... dont do it here. I'm sure the OP doesnt appreciate arguing in her thread - as I'm certain that wasnt her intent by posting her frustration with her teen. No one has perfect kids and no one is a perfect parent - and I dont believe anyone has said that.
You're going to get this locked. Please stop the tit-for-tat.
