Ie no friends for the first month, 4 hours a week for the second month or whatever. She clearly needs boundaries but I don't even know how to begin to create appropriate ones.[/quote]

So I'm not understanding why "no friends" is an appropriate boundary? I understand creating boundaries around where she goes and around time that you are taking care of the child while she is doing fun activities, but that doesn't mean "no friends."[b] There are lots of appropriately supervised ways that she could interact with friends[/b] -- and it probably would be good for her to have time to spend decompressing with other teens. You could supervise her and one close female friend -- take them to a mall, drop them off at a movie, you stroll around the mall with the baby for 90 minutes, then take them to lunch/dinner with baby in tow.

And I think also that making sure she has a fun activity to make up for missing the dance would be nice. Don't constrain her so much she busts out and rebels. [/quote]

I don't get OP's incessant need for adult supervision. I mean....the baby is already here. [/quote]

Do not want another baby![/quote]
