Stop to think why a kid is never home.  Normally its because the homelife isn't very good.[/quote]

17 year olds? They aren't in their home much because they have school, commute to school, extracurricular activities (theater rehearsal, NHS tutoring, Robotics Club, International Club), sports (swimming, Cross Country, lacrosse), sports competitions, concerts, "open mike" night at the coffee house, dances, volunteer activities, other social events.

Home life is fine, but my kids at least are out and about a lot with other teens, getting ready for college and adulthood when they will no longer be living at home.

Seriously, if your kid is 17 and mostly just hangs out with you all at home, there might be some kind of social anxiety or other issue going on. That's fine - but don't think that your kid's behavior means most other teens are somehow living in bad homes because they don't spend many hours at home with their parents.[/quote]

Sure, keep telling yourself that to justify your bad relationship with your child.  But, not surprising given you blocked them from having a relationship with their Dad.

If your kid is doing club swimming, they aren't doing cross country and lacrosse too.  And, theater.  Or, they are just doing the absolute minimum on each activity as that wouldn't even be possible.  Strange how my kid is in multiple activities, clubs and an intense sport, friends and yet, we still find time to spend together.[/quote]
