To send her home right now?

[ICallConnerie]

DD had a friend over last night.

They were the usual giggly shrieking teenagers and kept me up until gone midnight. Fine because I had today off work.

This girl was supposed to go home today but her mother couldn't be contacted all day so I fed the girl and agreed to a second night after they promised to be silent and sleeping by 10 tonight. We have an early start tomorrow as I need to get the kids to a friends so she can watch them. And I have a very very hectic day catching up on the long weekend.

Needless to say, they are being noisy and frankly a bit cheeky when I've gone in to tell them to STFU go to sleep.

I've just had a look on her mums FB and alas, she had been sleeping off a major bender at a friends and is now home according to her hilarious updates for those wondering where the hell she was... she seems to have forgotten to get in touch to check her daughter is ok though

WIBU to pack her off home in a taxi this late at night? I really need to sleep!

They are 15.

I don't think I will send her home - I'm worried her mum might fall asleep and not answer the door or might have gone out for round two since she has another child free night.

I have just told them they have to keep it down or DD is in with me.

And I might just fancy a 6am run and wake them up to feed and watch the little ones before we have to leave...

I'm not surprised the girl doesn't want to go home.

I would post a response saying "That explains why you didn't return your daughter's calls or messages. Just so you know, she's safe with me here."

Or something similarly passive aggressive. It's not the girls fault so I'd let her stay where she is.

I wouldn't punish the cold for the mother's delinquency

Child " not cold!!

(But would phone the mother)

The mum is generally ok. Her DD would have seen this before. She is quite laid back and very much prides herself on not letting motherhood crush her but clearly loves her DD.

I have text her "So glad you're ok! DD has been frantic with worry. Thought you may like to know that DD is fine here for another night. I'll drop her back at 7.15 on route to work."

Her mother's a loser.

I don't drive but work close to her house so will be passing off the bus to my lovely friend who has agreed to watch my dc.

Not looking forward to dragging two grumpy, sleepy teenagers from their pit in the morning though!

I wouldn't send her home now but it would be the last time she stayed.

I would go with Eva's suggestion.

What a user. Poor girl though, with a mother like that.

I'm going to give it another 5 minutes an if she doesn't reply by text I will comment on her fb status.

Some people just take the piss!

I'm actually really surprised by this.

What a selfish thing to do.

The girl is under 16 surely mother has duty of care? W

I could never do it. I'm a firm believer in being more then just a mum but never at the expense of your responsibilities.

Seems calm in the pit so maybe they are going to behave....

How selfish.

Her Mum, not you.

Sounds like the mother will love a 7:15 wake up call.
Poor girl. Although she must be used to it this must be rather crushing.

We have had a friend stay all over the easter break and her mum has only been in contact with her daughter over FB or text, I haven't spoken to her once.

At times I have asked when she thinks she may be going home and told mum isn't home, mum was home all along and just DC chansing for (and succeeding in) longer sleep overs.

I'm not fussed.

Fingers crossed they do behave and you are able to get some sleep. I'm still that a parent would do this.

Glad you're dropping her off nice and early tomorrow!

Can't believe so many would send girl back in middle of night!

Update OP?

OP is at work, chances are she won't be able to update until lunch or this evening.
