Ive have my 17yr old DD best friend living with us since beginning of October. Long story but basically the relationship with her Mother has broken down amongst some psycholgical and physical abuse. But this is the issue, last Wednesday night at 2am she came into my room in a blind panic, really upset as she had been peeing blood all night. I suspected a bad urine infection, calmed her down telling her lots of girls her age have this and off she went back to bed. She went to the doctor on Thursday who told her that indeed it was a urine infection and he had not seen such a dramatic and painful infection turn so bad so quickly. He gave her some strong antibiotics and told her to drink lots of water and cranberry juice.
Anyway here is the problem. She had a party planned for tonight and when I heard what the doctor said to her I told her that she could not go to the party and could stay off school tomorrow if need be. The default position of this girl is that she will find any reason to stay off schools and to not do chores, but this morning off she went to school and had taken some washing out for me which is unheard of especially before school. She very much wants to go to this party and has been moaning to my daughter that Im not her mother and technically have no say over her, she wont drink much so what difference to being at home. She is very persistent. She has not actually said anything to me but shes said a lot to DD.
My question is this, am I being ott in not letting her go to this party when she is on antibiotics and is not yet properly better ??
