[QUOTE="buddy, post: 505548, member: 12886"] Oh geez. Well some of it sounds typical egocentric typical teen so that part is kind of cool....but of course the layer of difficult child-ness is amazing... maybe even the mom. i went to pick up my same age niece from her boyfriend's house and they were supposedly watching a movie inside with parents. I show up at the appointed time, text her (she had jsut texted me so I knew she was there and phone was on) and ignored... I try again and again and call too. I go up to the door and ring and knock and NO ONE comes... I can SEE them on the lower level. If I have people come to my house I turn everything off and pay attention to the guest. I was so ticked off. Told my niece I would be having her stay with me for the rest of the weekend since she had such a hard time being polite when I had five other kids waiting on me (I had left Q with his cousins at home to get her.....uggg, should have been a quick trip) How do they assume we are such a free taxi drive? I never did that. I remember having to ask and have my parents meet people and they never told me that was how it was.... it just was. I know that sounds old fashioned but it seems like it would be more important these days. Like we should all be even more aware of what is going on with so many more dangers out there. I think you are simply awesome. You did the right thing and in the end your kid will thank you for caring..... I really believe that. [/QUOTE]
