My child worked really hard for her exams and was in quite a lot apart from hobby. Since the exams finished she is out almost everyday and sleeps over at best friends' most nights. We have allowed this as we were working too and couldn't think of a good reason to say no. Now it's the holidays and she is still wanting to stay away.
The weather is so bad, we're not doing much as a family so can't give her a good reason to be home. When she is in she just spends time lounging round her room on her phone.
It just doesn't sit well with me but not sure if I should insist she comes home. She is almost 17. Do you insist that your child sleeps at home apart from the odd sleep over now and again? Does your child even want to stay away every night?
Just to add, she has always been like this. We are very close and do lots as a family but since she went to nursery/ school, she ran in without a backwards glance and has never been a home body. I have always suspected she has ADHD and just can not stand being in or not busy.
