[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tbe teen years are hard OP. I’d have been ok with a one night sleepover but not this ongoing situation. You gotta put your foot down. [/quote] Why? We have always been the house to go to and I love it. Just because some of you never want to host, get to know their friends or be involved in their lives - that's on you. And OP - complaining that the 11yr old did more shoveling. That is a YOU problem. It is much easier for me to have an app with chores or at least text them. If they are done and correctly, she can have people over. If not, oh well. Have boundaries, but also realize she wants her friends there. In your home and that should mean something to you. It isn't hard at all to host teens. Mine are always in the basement or her bedroom. If they cook or bake, they have to clean it all up. Simple. And a lot of the times we end up playing board games or I make massive amounts of cookies and they hang out and I can hear about their lives. I have 2 in college. You will miss this. Get a handle on parenting but also let her have friends over with set decisions on who is getting rides etc....[/quote]
