I dread to think of the battles I'll be facing when the daughter becomes a teenager. And you are right, many kids especially those from well to do families do not live in the real world! <br /><br />SOO [¥]https://www.blogger.com/profile/14472290122044156952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29609470.post-62135094735976902802012-10-24T23:34:25.574+08:002012-10-24T23:34:25.574+08:00Claire,

If we forbid them, they will think we are not sporting, on the other hand if we allow them to stay out till late, we will be "biting our finger nails" till they come home.. sigh.. not easy to be a parent these days...Reanaclairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01716477622054835019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29609470.post-26676362023031007242012-10-24T12:16:54.126+08:002012-10-24T12:16:54.126+08:00LOL.

Not sure about you but for me, I always make my expectations known to all so that everyone's on the same page to prevent disappointment, endless poutings (and tantrums) and unnecessary stress for all parties. <br /><br />Hence, you can either do it the Darth Vader way: LOOK! I am your father.You don't know the power of the dark side! No. Leave them to me. I will deal with them myself. Heeheehee<br /><br />Or, <br /><br />you can do the teen lingospeak and say: Yo! Here are my ground rules. I know it's crazy.

I am on the same wave length, and being the very responsible parents that we are, we wouldnt want anything happening to others' kids that are under your watch too. Guess you will have to be the driver and chaperone for those late nights out if you are going to allow it. You are going to be that "uncool parent" that your daughter has. But you have to do what you have to do!! Hope it all works out well in the end.stay-at-home mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04977522411804549074noreply@blogger.com
