Queen of Hearts
group date last night (at the age of 14). I swear as I get older, the less fight I have in me. I'm sure you remember me saying a year or two ago kt wouldn't date until the age of 39. Couldn't stand the peer pressure.
kt, her special "boy friend" & a group of 8 other students went to the football game at our high school last night. The game started at 7, was over at 9. The kids hung out talking for 20 minutes & kt was home by 9:30 (curfew time).
Their team lost horrendously 14-0, but the kids had fun.
husband & I talked about this knowing it would come up. kt has matured & grown in so many ways that we felt she should earn some privileges.....this may be too soon. I'm second guessing myself on this one. However, she had the time of her life, hugged us & headed off to bed, humming a happy tune.
kt knows the guidelines....what it will take kt to lose this privilege. She will still not be taking city buses or heading out on Friday's or Saturday's unless it's a group of kids & there is a planned activity (i.e. soccer game, skating, arcade, etc.)
It's official - I've lost my mind. therapist, husband & several others have pointed out that kt is far more mature in many ways because of her hx in bio home. I point out that she is still my baby & needs to be protected.
I was sure that the tweedles were going to be 12 until they were 20. That I was not going to acknowledge the teen years.....
