[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 334755, member: 6546"] I am just so tired of being "on duty" all the time.... husband and I are on constant alert to protect difficult child from her own stupidity. We purchased WebWatcher software to monitor her online activity. We search her room and her bookbag to keep tabs on her activity. It is evident that she is continuing to engage in "activities" with boys during school. We have no idea whether she is actually going 'all the way' with all of them or just a select few. We don't even know if we really want to know...and frankly, we are tired and stressed out and we are TIRED of being tired and stressed out. Today, I was in my office when difficult child got home from school. I hear her come in the door....CLOMP....CLOMP....CLOMP....CLOMP. ??? difficult child, is that you? Uh-huh CLOMP.....CLOMP....CLOMP Why are you stomping around like that? And then I see her...It seems that she has borrowed a friend's fashion boots. They didn't fit and difficult child was having trouble even walking in the five inch heels. Aren't they great? Aren't they cute? CLOMP....CLOMP....CLOMP Now I realize this is pretty typical teen--but I just don't have the patience any more. I wanted to yell and scream "[I]Sure, you can borrow somebody's shoes--but how about borrowing somebody's Math notes??? Maybe it would be great to bring home some homework instead of other people's clothes??? Maybe it would be cute to pay attention to your own future instead of what might attract the next guy????"[/I] But I didn't... I didn't say a word. What would have made any difference anyway?
