[quote=Anonymous]When she goes out she needs to remember that she is a mother now.  She needs to be ready to and capable of caring for her baby after she goes out.  So home at an hour that will allow her to do that.

Since you are the only logical babysitter right now, I would let her know how long you are willing to babysit and she will have to work with that.  She's a parent now, her responsibilities come first.

At 15 I had an 11:00 curfew no matter what I was doing.  If it was a school dance I was picked up at 11:00.  Plus, I was only allowed out until 11:00 on either Friday or Saturday night.  (My parents were fairly strict with that)

I would think 11 or so is late enough for a 15 year old, especially since it seems she has a history of not making the best choices.  (RE: your comment on activities)  She must be home on time, sober/straight and ready to care for her baby when he/she wakes up during the night.  If that can't be done then she can't go out.  How often she goes out depends on how often you are willing to babysit.[/quote]
