DD was a perfect teen until she did one stupid thing. I am from Eastern Europe and not strict that much at all. I post here when there is an issue. Or when I am not sure which clubs in DC are safe. I had a long talk with her telling me if she does drink, for me to get her. I never drank or did drugs when teen(but it wasn't forbidden to me), but I also went to discos in Europe at her age till 4am! That is just it, they are all great teens until that one hour when for some reason, peer pressure, moment of trying to show off, or just plain lack of judgement, she/ and all teens do something without thinking what might happened, like invites 3 friends over and these 3 invite 3 each, and those invite 3 each... and recipe for a disaster that your teen never actually planned. Sometimes they don't understand how one bad decision when parent is not home can cascade within minutes.
My ‘brilliant’ teenager is a complete idiot when we aren’t home and always does something to wreck the house. I feel like she needs a damned babysitter. It’s fine for her to learn but I always wish that they’ll take the stupidly on the road to someone else’s house.
Same teen returned from beachweek burned to a bright red crisp.
