[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love how this thread turned into everyone bragging about their ability to socialize with children on a Saturday night and how much they love it …. Post it again in a month OP and say you love hanging out with your friends teens and the same people will come ridicule you for being weird. It’s just about being critical. Next thread[/quote]

Op here- hahaha yes! Thanks for this!! I honestly can’t believe so many people are getting worked up about this. 15 year olds are fine and all, but they’re not adults and when there are two couples and a 15 year old engaged in a heavy conversational dynamic for 4 hours it does feel forced and awkward.

Also, I realize I was not clear with this piece of info- I did not know that the dad had a teenaged daughter and shared custody. We know the wife through my husband and she recently married him and had a child together. Like I said, we don’t know them well which is why we invited them over for dinner.

Most of our friends have kids our kids ages or younger, it’s normal to feed them first then they run off to play or have a movie night if they want to do that. Our other friends with teens have always left them home, just saying the kids had other things to do or straight up didn’t want to come hang with a bunch of babies. That makes sense 😊[/quote]

OP, NP, and I’m totally with you.  Why was she there if she wasn’t there to hang with the children?  It’s not like she’s your goddaughter - I take pleasure in seeing my very close friends’ kids, but otherwise leave your teenager at home.  She doesn’t need to play with the younger kids but she needs to leave the adults alone.

Any teenager who wants to hang out with adults is used to them modifying conversation to include them.[/quote]
