[quote=Anonymous]Every week is excessive. I would have a conversation with her about expectations and behavior. For reference, ask her how often she wants to spend time with family. The expectation should be that if they’re at your house she comes downstairs says hello politely and then she’s free to leave. Give her a code word if she needs your help to get out — for example she has to start on a research paper or study for algebra. She shouldn’t have to go to outings and dinners every week. That’s way too much. Make it clear that she is expected to participate fully in outings once a month. Tell her exactly what that looks like. She has to have manners and engage. If she doesn’t want to hang out with the kids she has to talk to the adults. Once a month is reasonable. Every week (or multiple times a week!) is not. [/quote]
