[quote=Anonymous]OP I feel for you. I have a super nerd 17 yr old and 14 yr old girl who is going to be the opposite so I am thinking about this now. I am considering throwing out all the alcohol in our house - we never drink and if kids sneaked it, we’d never know. Haven’t thought about sleepovers much but she has one a couple weeks ago and came home distracted and a bit upset. Finally told us her friends had pressured her to drink and talked about sex by junior yr plan. DD doesn’t want to deal yet. Vaping rampant. Nonsense at my house would result in calls home and parents would have to come pick kids up immediately. Mine is in a sport where coach is very strict so I am thankful for that.

On the other hand, kids need to be exposed to difficult situations where they have to make ethical decisions about who they are. I don’t want to deprive her of that. So I struggle. She’s strong willed but very bright and has great sense of herself. That will be a blessing and a curse. No one is the boss of her but she’s strong in her convictions.

I guess 17 yr old will have his rebellions in college. None so far. Downsides to that too.

You’re not alone OP. I feel for you. [/quote]
