[quote=Anonymous]I know, I know, I should be happy we are the “hangout house”, and I am, but it’s also very overstimulating at the end of the work day. We live within walking distance of the high school, and I’d say 2-3 days a week, DD comes home with 1-3 friends. They don’t require much of me, often take off to go find food or Starbucks, or to wander around on foot. But usually they still storm the house for drinks and a snack, are boisterous, and I feel like I need to be “on” or at least aware of what they’re up to since I am the last adult to see them. Often they need/want rides home. It’s just chaotic. I WFH and get off just before DD gets home, and something about this intrusion feels disruptive. I know she needs to socialize, I am happy her friends are comfortable here, but it’s too much. I’m crowdsourcing. What would you allow? Or, what parameters would you put up? [/quote]
