[quote=Anonymous]I'm the single Mom PP from earlier and I disagree with her needing a social life to hang out in parking lots.

She needs to realize there is a before and after in this situation. Her new home means she now focuses her attention on studying. She can socialize through study groups that come to the house or volunteer activities that hopefully get her into community college, or work. Idle time when you are a parent with no support, does not happen except on a very special basis.

Sit her down and set up expectations as such:

--For this semester she focuses on caring for her newborn and homework. Friends can visit and she can see them during the day, but there are no night time activities at all.
--Next semester she can pick up one activity (volunteer, sport, study group) or get a part time job for the weekends
--If she passes all classes (or Bs and better depending on her previous performance) then she earns the right to go to a school social function
--There is no curfew and no going out, she has a baby to care for. She can have one or two friends over on non-school nights until 11pm and may pay for a babysitter for special events. She must return immediately following the event.
