[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 222781, member: 831"] Oh boy...I was so wanting to run away about a month ago. It comes and goes in cycles at my house. Daughter lost her brand new cellphone (actually, it was brand new because her other one was defective and rather than repair the company thought it easier to replace) because she and some of her friends (spending the night) decided to sneak out of the house while husband and I were sound a sleep. They didn't go far and stayed in the neighborhood. Where did they go? Oh, geez, to another kid's house where he was completely zonked out on his Mother's Xanax. He gives some to all the girls. Daughter, who is adament this is the first time she has taken "drugs", got zonked too because they decided to break the pills in half so they would kick in faster. Walking home Daughter loses her new cell phone. Of course, she gives in some ridiculous story of where it went ("I don't know..it just suddently wasn't in my pocket"). That was the last straw. No more phones paid for by me. That's what you get for sneaking out. She's nearly 18 anyway. Then about a week later Daughter calls me at work from school, frantic. "Someone" called one of the other girl's mothers and claims that Daughter gave them drugs and that she's awful, bad, and horrible for doing such a thing. Other mothers are called and it gets around. Daughter fears being a pariah.Then, I get the whole story from a very tearful Daughter. Went to this kid's house because he is a friend of one of the other girl's boyfriends (it's always so complicated in the teen world). I ask about adults being home. Where were they? I couldn't get a straight answer. Then, through a friend of mine, I get the lowdown on the parents. Too complicated and messy to explain but Mom's a complete flake. My first instinct to is call all the Moms and defend my Daughter. Daughter wants me to step in, too. Truthfully, if these people don't want their daughters around my daughter, it's fine. However, I want that decision based on the truth of what really happened-the boy gave them Xanax he had stolen from his Mom and the girls made their own choice to take. Anyway, Daughter doesn't like the damage done to her reputation. Hey, kid, sorry that's the consequences of poor choices. husband left me a message on my cell today: "Hopefully, the difficult children (our kids) won't have completely sucked us dry by the time they leave the nest":knockedout: [/QUOTE]
