[quote=Anonymous]Maybe OP's DD is an extreme introvert and after 7+ hours a day at school surrounded by people she's had about all she can take and just wants to be alone.

I spent very little time around my family during the school week as a teen, and that was one of the major reasons. If I'd been pressured, pushed, or flat out required to be in the main part of the house with everyone other than just at dinner, I feel like I might have gone slightly crazy. There definitely would have been more sibling fights and teen dramatics though; I knew I was about at my saturation point as far as dealing with the presence of other people politely without getting overly irritated about every little thing, so hiding in my room was better for everyone.

In my case there were other factors at work as well (bad family dynamics & I actively dislike(d) and was/am uncomfortable around my parents) but even as an adult I can't do most happy hours or schedule events with friends after a day at work, because my head will explode from the level of socialization required and I will end up being unpleasant company.

Could it be just a base personality conflict between how much socializing OP and OP's DD each find appropriate?[/quote]
