[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 316159, member: 1514"] Skeeter...what a simple explanation of the obvious...lol. It is tantamount to allowing a toddler to run loose. We told the tot that cars are out there and that the stove is hot but we shall allow them to just experience things first hand on their own...hmmm...how would that work out do you think? Not too well. Same thing applies to all teens, not just difficult child's. You cant just say...oh...here...car keys are on the hook, my bank card and PIN are XXX, liquor is here, etc and expect that nothing bad is going to happen. It will. You would be lax in parenting your child if you didnt put safeguards in place to protect yourself and most importantly your child from doing things that could be wrong. Dont leave car keys where they can get them, dont let them have access to your bank stuff and for gosh sakes...dont let them into the booze! Know where they are, set up curfews, know their friends! Its called responsible parenting! [/QUOTE]
