[QUOTE="klmno, post: 217447, member: 3699"] Thanks, SW and others! You know, he also mentioned on his myspace that I'm that way because I'm over-protective. He tells a lot of people that and some people- like the PO- sit there and agree with him that I am too protective. I don't think I am. Given that he's a 13 yo difficult child on probation, does it sound like my expectations regarding his social priviledges are over-protective to you all? Not to mention, I don't think a lot of people understand that when a kid this age gets in legal trouble, "good" kids from "good" families aren't typically allowed or encouraged to hang out with your difficult child, so difficult child's opportunities to meet kids who are complying with the law and who keep their parents informed about where they are and what they're doing get pretty slim. I wish he had more people tell him that I'm not too protective and that he needs to try to get interested in something acceptable where he can meet appropriate friends, instead of looking at it like I should be compromising his social boundaries.
