[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 540897, member: 1550"] sven, hi, and I'm not offended at all. The fact is, Jumper and I have a better than average relationship...I'd say most parents are not as close to their kids as I am to Jumper and this is partly her own personality. She has made good choices so far. However, she does not have the attitude that parents shouldn't ever check up on their kids. She just isn't rebellious that way. If I want to check up on her, as long as she knows it's about the other kids and not her, she just rolls her eyes and says, "Whatever." I just tell her I do it because I care and she says she knows. Jumper has just turned sixteen. She is not babied. In fact, she is always out doing something. Many of her friends are older than she is because she's been in varsity sports since freshman year. She's a busy girl. We sometimes make mom/daughter lunch dates to catch up. She is vulnerable right now and I want to keep being a caring mom to my daughter and in my opinion it is caring to make sure they are in good hands. Just because your child CAN have sex, get drunk, or take drugs even if you try to watch them well, in my opinion doesn't mean you should stop showing them that you care by being involved and concerned (not overbearing, but just involved and concerned). I know Jumper feels loved. I'm sure that helps her as she travels down that bumpy road called adolescence :) Thanks for all comments! The party is TONIGHT and we just had a giant shopping spree for food and soda! [/QUOTE]
