[quote=Anonymous]I have a suggestion --- being a teenager is hard and when this happened to my oldest, I always felt so sorry for him. But I kind of learned that it was on me. So now if it looks like that might happen, I try to make it seem like I'd rather them be home with me. I have said things like - oh I'm glad you don't have plans - can you come for frozen yogurt? Or can you make some cupcakes for us to decorate? You can make it better than it is by being cheerful and more fun. Even if you have to work - something little is enough and makes them feel better. If she already feels badly she doesn't need you also feeling sorry for her. [/quote]
