Lol, I don’t mind my family as much as others do theirs.

Both worked quite well without any harmful side-effects.

Except for the fact that you had to spend the day with the entire family, MacManX.

I want to also add how lucky you are that D comes to you with these problems instead of being one of the kids that uses another set of parents as an aliby.

Great parents ya’ll are :)

Thank God I havent got any daughters.

I second that! I’ve got two sons, and I will be putting the fear of the Almighty Moose into them regarding their responsibilities as young men, but I too am thankful that I don’t have daughters! :razz:

The sick thing isn’t going to stop her friends telling their parents that they’re staying at yours. The only way you can stop that is simply for D to tell her friends it’s not okay. That can only come from her, and it means she might be unpopular for oh, five minutes, until somebody else decides their parents can be the fake alibi.

Socially, it could be more damaging for her *not* to go, if all her mates are going, because they’ll be talking about it for a week or two and she’ll feel left out if she doesn’t go. Much better for her to go along and just put up with being the “square” who doesn’t drink or smoke. If she really doesn’t enjoy herself, she can go home, it’s better to show her face and show she wants to socialise with her friends than just to avoid it altogether. That’s what I think :)

This has happened to us twice. In one instance, we did exactly as Jennifer suggested. In another instance, we acted like X was going, all the way to the point at which [anonymous teen bunch] was to arrive and pick X up. What we did instead was invite the entire family over for the day. When [anonymous teen bunch] arrived, they saw the whole family, asked for X, and were politely told that “X is busy.” Both worked quite well without any harmful side-effects.

D could always get sick and not be able to go.

I learned something today, you have a kid. (and a gf/wife)

Personally, I can’t believe shes not into drinking… From a kid her age’s perspective, I’d say damn, shes fucked up. But from a parental perspective, I’d say thats good.
