Lol. Can't you host your own friends, or did you not plan well enough in advance?

My oldest is 16, I have learned that they have no idea what the plan is until like an hour before. I have gotten worked up and stressed about their plans multiple times before I realized I should just calm down till they figure out actual plans. Just my .02

On things like tonight I do require a check in every couple hours

I wish my 15 and 13 year old had plans or even chaotic plans. I am tired of the expectations that we have to do things.

It’s 4:22pm and I still don’t know exactly what my 17 yr old DD has planned for tonight.

And I’m fine with it.

She about had a meltdown when I told her she needed to pick one of the big activities (dinner or skiing).


Sounds like mine too!

Jeez lady—her plans haven’t fallen through, but, if they did, you’d make her do chores for you and your stupid mom friends?


Parents on here are crazy lol


Same parents that are handwringing about kids just sitting on their phones all the time, but don’t want to let their kids go or do anything lol
