my dearest eldest daughter is 14 and a half,she goes to woodcraft and they were off on a camping trip this weekend-i was worried about it because it's a mixed group of teenagers and well,you know what they're like.
There were 3 rules before going-girls stay in their rooms and boys in theirs, everyone to do chores and everyone to join in-showed daughter this and she agreed to abide by the rules-with punishment being 'parents called/kids collected' if they were broken.
We thought we should make a point about booze/fags before she went so i said that the organiser had called me to ask permission to search bags and that i had given my consent to this-therefore if she had anything she shouldn't have she should ditch it before leaving.
She's ordinarily a good kid-saturday morning i get a phone call from the organiser to say that my darling daughter was found in the boys room-they weren't doing anything and it was her and one other girl caught in there talking. I went mental down the phone at the child and said that's it-grounded FOREVER.
anyway,she rings me and says the reason that she was in the boys room is that the 2 other kids in her room had puked all over ther place (after drinking a bottle of gin between them) and crashed out-my daughter hadn't been drinking but did have all her clothes puked all over- what punishment would you give for the rule breaking (despite the fact we can see it's justified) she's got exams next month and so grounding is a bit of a shit one as she's not allowed out now until after then?
sorry it's long but we're not sure what to do with this one...
