I'm so glad it turned out okay. You had me worried there! Nice to know there are decent teenagers like yours still.

we have (Reply to this comment)

certainly started to experience this with our oldest (13) over the past few weeks.
she went to a friends house and was told she was not to be surfing the web for hours on end and that she was not to go on Epinions - the friend has no content filters set, etc, so it would be easy to get to some of those wonderful toy reviews that have nothing to do with the toy and well are at times very disturbing. she not only went on epinions, but decided to leave me a note on one of my reviews. let's just say at a very early hour that morning I went to collect her.
after having consequences for that, she was allowed back over there - this time they decided to go to the movies - she didn't call and ask permission and then had the nerve to invite a boy to go with her. (she is not allowed to date or go to the movies with a boy without adult supervision and especially without permission).
now she is forbidden for quite some time to go over to that girls house - it isn't an issue with what that parent allows, it's an issue of trust - you have rules that you need to follow when you go out. the total kicker - last night she begged to go because the girl keeps inviting her over - she has the nerve to say, "let me go, I can't keep lying to her." oh, it's ok to lie to us and break our trust, but you feel guilty lying to her.
this am I called the mom and explained it for her.
reading this only makes me think things will get worse before they get better.
nice epinion

Lauren will be only 3 in October, but I want to have the type of relationship you have with your children. I want Lauren to be open and share a mutual respect for each other. I will try to remember this advice when I face the teenage years!
