[QUOTE="keista, post: 434401, member: 11965"] It sounds pretty typical to me, but that doesn't make it right. No I don't think you're asking to much of her. I'd try getting to the bottom of why she doesn't want to bring ppl there. Could partly be the stress/embarrassment of Sonic. She might understand him, and be able to deal, but try explaining his quirks to your teen gfs - UHG. Or maybe she's more stressed than she lets on and getting out and constant change of scenery is "therapeutic" DD1 has been in and extreme and chronic "I'm bored" mode, but when she has the chance to go to a friend's or the neighbor's that boredom lifts at least for the time she's gone. You know "the grass is always greener......." Try planning a "party" with her to get the friends over. Could be just inviting friends over to "hang" isn't appealing since it sounds like she's always doing stuff when she goes there. She may perceive all the other families as more 'interesting, cool, etc' Again, I find the behavior itself in the normal range. I find your desire for more family time normal as well. I wouldn't give up on trying to strike "time-sharing" deals with her. [/QUOTE]
