DD13 behaviour is very bad(see previous threads). I agreed for her to sleep over a a new friends house last night. Got a text from one of her other mates today telling me she was seen over the park last night 'pissed out of her head'. I calmly asked her about this today when I picked her up and she confirmed it was true. All I could say was 'good girl for telling the truth'.

Why did the mother of friend not let me know?
DD said the mum knew they were drunk but she was too busy mopping up sick from her other underage drunk daughter.

What would you do ? Would you ask the mother about it? I dont really know her.

I truly give up. My Mum said let DD run wild ans see where she ends up!

Sorry to hear this, sounds very stressful.

Hard to know what it was like for the other mum- whether she connived or was totally shocked not having anticipated it. Or which of the girls was the ringleader- if anyone.

What I would do in your case is to try to keep your dd at home for a while, and certainly to keep her without acess to money.

Don't let her run wild- it's too risky at her age.

Found out today that the mother has MS and lets her daughters do pretty much what they like. However, not much help for me. I will keep Dd in for a while. She has come home from school in an exceptionally good mood.This is great (for my nerves) but I'm suspicious as to what else she's been up to.

I wont let her run wild...couldn't live with myself if anything happened. I will plug away at trying to keep her safe/make her see sense.

I have thought about the pill....what do others think? It might help with hormones as well as the obvious.

Know what you are going through. DD went to stay at a friend's house and we found out she was still out at midnight, DD friend alerted me to this as she was texting her what appeared to be drunken text messages, although when I rang DD she confirmed she was still out but not drunk. I made it known that I was very cross with her and rang the mother as she was in her care, she told me that they went out but have not arrived back and she did not have any credit on her phone to ring them. I expressed my disappointment at the situation. DD has not been allowed to sleep over there again. DD likes to think she can do what she wants and there is a lot of head banging on my behalf. In the end sanctions get put in place and this is usually lack of money, DD loves her money so this is a real punishment for her. She now has a BF and to be honest I wanted to put her on the pill about 6 months ago because of her wayward behaviour but she refuses, I want either the injection or implant as she would not be responsible enough to take it every day. Her argument is Not having sex so don;t need to take the pill.Hmm I think it would also help her mood swings

Keep going, I am sure it will be worth it in the end, I keep telling myself this.

I'm still in two minds as to whether to bother contacting the mother....whats done is done but wont be letting DD stay there again. She is still in a good mood and went up to bed with no prompting tonight. Am just relieved that we've had a stress free evening.
As for the pill...hmmm just dont know.
