[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 50845, member: 23"] I hear the same thing from my difficult child and have for several years, e.g., "all the kids do it." As I've pointed out to him previously that's not true -- he doesn't and his friends don't. I no longer explain; I just remind him "we've had this conversation before." I think part of this may be "puberty" (you have my sympathy). Actually "all the kids do it" came up yesterday. There's a club that has a "teen" night once a week during the summer and difficult child wants to go. Not a chance that I'd drop my 13 yr old off there with the loose supervision..... [img]:smile:[/img] I don't think it's a good idea for him to be socializing in this type setting with 16 - 18 yr olds either. If your difficult child has inflexible thinking as mine does, "puberty" is not a good mix. Sigh... So, no, I do not think you are unreasonable. [/QUOTE]
