[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weird thread to go so long.  OP you aren’t wrong, it’s weird and I have a friend with a kid this age.  When I’m with my friends I don’t want to worry about cursing or speaking about anything.  Can’t do that with a teen.  Plus they are boring to talk to but you do it to be nice.  [/quote]

I think it’s a great thread — in that OP is clearly trying to be an understanding host, and get help with that, while the girl is clearly trying to be a good guest. It’s nice when everyone is trying their best — and is open to adjusting things for everyone’s comfort. I feel for this kid. If she were at her Mom’s, she’d probably have the option of staying at home or doing something with her friends. Instead, she made a valiant effort— in an unfamiliar environmental that had some challenges.

PP, I’d guess that teens might feel like you — stuck with Olds, and unfamiliar Olds at that.  They “don’t want to worry about cursing or speaking about anything. Can’t do that with (an Old). Plus (Olds) are boring to talk to but you do it to be nice.”

This reminds me that I met a lifelong friend when I was 12 — and she was a 24 year old young mom, who lived next door.  OP, you never know where these friendships might take you, but I’m sure the girl will appreciate and remember your kindness.
