would like to know what others do

please

DD who is 15 doesnt like being in the house (our house is very boring ) and goes out a lot - to friends houses etc. She is there till 9.30 during the week; 10:30 at the weekend. Half of me thinks great - has friends, isnt annoying me, has done homework/had tea etc and the other half thinks she shouldnt be out so much but I dont know why and if she was here she would be on MSN/facebook anyway

Just wondered what other people did or anyones thoughts

thank you

as long as school work is done and you know where she is and whats shes doing ( ha ha ha haaa haa haaa) then its fine

I have to ask - you're sure she is where she says she is?

Assuming yes, then I'd leave it be. My older DCs (now in their twenties) weren't really like that - I mean they went out, but not so often, so I have no direct experience, but if she's doing everything else right then there's no problem really, is there? Don't pick a fight when you don't need to.

I'm sorry I cant hear you Custardo for the fingers in my ears whilst i go la la la la laaaaaa

well I am sure as I can be without going with her - I have no evidence to the contrary lets put it that way and now it is dark I go and pick her up ......thats the really difficult part - learning to trust/let go....

Ours is the same.

We enjoy the peace!

I was the same though,I was always around my best mates house at 15/16 (or down the pub,cough)

If she's done her school work and is just spending time round at her friends house then I wuldn't worry. At least she's not trying to get into pubs and clubs,

I have two teens who mostly stay home (just go out at weekends) and one who is home so rarely we have locked him out by accident several times!

As others say, as long as her work is done and you have no concerns... enjoy the peace! My girls both have their boyfriends round tonight and I am being forced to watch a film I don't like, while listening to the other daughter cooking a mess in the kitchen!

DS1 tends to appear only to inhale the contents of the fridge and steal the remote..:)

If it bothers you why not chat to her about it? Maybe she would enjoy an organised activity one night a week, like a drama club or something, and to invite her friends home more often instead of usually going round theirs? What about having a family dinner rule one night a week?

I wouldn't worry ..its usually my house thats full of ds's friends though [sigh]

for some reason i always end up with ahouse full of my childrens friends,my kids dont like other parents houses for some reason,maybe because im a bit soft wth them.

but at least i knw where they are and what they get up to.

Im very very close to my children and their friends so we can talk about anything.

(except wanking eh?)
