[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not the mother of a teen Mom (thank goodness), but I had my first child at 15.

How responsible is she in general? If she is a good mother, I would allow the dance. Being a mother does not have to equal social isolation. I would allow maybe one outing a week, with reasonable expectations on when to come home. No school night outings (is she in school?), unless it is school related (football game, homecoming, etc).

Is she still involved with the child's father? [/quote]

Also very helpful! What is reasonable curfew for a 15 yo teen mom on a non school night?

Ny limitation on what the activity should be?[/quote]

Not sure if I missed it, but how old is she? Her age will determine her curfew. If she's over 17, on a non-school night, midnight is late enough. Anything happening after that time is generally not a good thing.

Also, is she on birth control? Unfortunately, many teens think that you can't get pregnant right after having a baby (especially if you haven't gotten your regular period), so it's important that she knows that this is not true.

I would limit the activity if it were anything risky. I would treat the outings as I would with a typical teen who was not a Mom. [/quote]
