[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 74021, member: 3626"] I think I'd be a tad meaner than not allowing her to go to Homecoming -- I'd let her go but I would be there to watch her every second. There's nothing like a mom or dad around to put a serious damper on things. Something tells me she wouldn't like this dance too much. At least at 13, she'll have several more to attend before graduation. Grounding would just get her mad and not quite teach her much of anything as I learned the hard way. Having mom and dad show you how to babysit is a more natural consequence and might just get the message across a little more effectively. I actually would have a bit of sympathy for your daughter if it weren't for the fact she volunteered. My older sister always had to babysit my brother and me. She would get so fed up doing it, she would tie us together and then to something like a clothesline so we couldn't get loose and then go do her thing. She told us in great detail what she would do to us if we told. We never did. [/QUOTE]
