[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 540309, member: 1550"] Last night we had a long and not always friendly discussion about this. At first Jumper kept shrugging and saying "I don't know." Finally, she blurted out, "I DON'T LIKE TO BE THE HOST!" That clicked.Jumper is a good kid and I am not concerned she or her friends are doing things that are wrong and there is plenty of supervision where she goes (I'm jealous because the parents usually sit out with the kids a nd interact). But Jumper has got to be the laziest teen on the planet. I askesd her about it and she said, "I don't want to be the one who gets the drinks and has to clean up." It sounds just like her. Her one problem is that sh e does n Occupational Therapist (OT) really do much in the way of chores, even when she says she did. That didn't change a nything. I don't stalk after her nor does she have a lack of freedom. I want her to have some bonfires HERE. She goes to a different one almost every night and if she wants to keep doing it, she will have to have two a month at our house. Whether she plays host or not. Although I know her friend's faces and reputations, that is NOT the same as interacting with them to find out who they are first hand. I'm going to insist and then it's her choice. As for throwing a small party, she would think that was even worse. More work to do with the extra food, etc...lol. Jumper and I had a tough night last night We'll talk again when she wakes up, but I'm the one who always gives in...not this time. It's not the e nd of the world for her to bring her friends home sometimes. This also includes sleepovers. [/QUOTE]
