[QUOTE="cindygirl, post: 119774, member: 1744"] My daughter wouldn't have her friends over because they had so much more freedom at the friends house. they had parents that worked and the parents would give them money to entertain them with drugs and alcohol. We had explained the facts of life to our difficult child but it didn't really affect her. afterall that only happened to other kids. So when she ran off to be with her boyfriend (of the very brief moment) I finally tracked her down through the messaging board that she is always on. They had been drinking, using drugs and smoking. She had also been stealing cars and had the boys she had been hanging with was stealing her clothes, ect., and then she gets onto the internet with a stranger and tells her (me) that we had thrown her out of the house and she was pregnant with maybe the boyfriend's baby or his brothers. Even after numerous pregnancy tests she was still convinced that she was having a baby and when she started hearing voices, we had her hospitalized. Even after a blood test that proved she wasn't pregnant she was convinced that of course she was still having a baby. When the boyfriend dumped her she ran around telling everyone that he was abandoning the mother of his child. Our kids know so many "facts" about life but they are all watching these sanitized shows on tv where everything works out the way they want it. You have kids and they love you unconditionally and they are just as perfect as can be. 4 of her friends have had babies in the last year and so now she wanted to be part of the crowd. She went out with one of these older girls who should have known better and they met a 26 year old man who lured her at 13 to his house. He waited until the bus stopped running and told her if she wanted to stay till morning she better do what he wanted. Between this man and the boys she has went out with subsequently she has contracted precancerous cells at the age of 14. We try to protect our kids and do everything in our power to keep them safe. In my opinion the longer you can keep them kids the safer and happier their future will be. At my house they are allowed to eat snacks on the couch, watch a movie or have a conversation. I can occupy myself in the next room but they know i am in the next room. I will be much smarter with the easy child then i ever was with the difficult child. [/QUOTE]
