What do you think......parents?

:iagree: Different places, same story. Same parents!

 

I am so glad I've already been through this. You guys have some fun and frustrating times to look forward to.

 

you're alot of help!!

 

At that age they go in groups and you sit in the back and watch. And as they get older, driving age, make your home the home they want to hang out at. That way you can keep a better eye on them. I had 5 teenagers at my house off and on all weekend. My kids are at the 21 age mark so they all got a lecture before they all went out. I made sure they had a dd. I knew exactly where the party was and told them to call if they had any problems. I got up Sunday morning and had kids here and mine were back at Campbell.
You just have to be really involved. You can be firm and still be the cool Mom. And I think my girls have turned out pretty good so far.

 

ds asked me last friday (on the phone while im at work) can i go with some friends to the movies? i say "what friends and whose mom will be there?" he rambles a few names and says no ones mom can come. i said well son you give me a list of names and the parents going so i can call them.....then we will talk about it. of course me going was outta the question! why???? i am totally cool! 8)

 

man.....still cant believe you have kids that age!!!

 

:allears: Mine are 9 (6/27) and 10½... so I'm paying close attention!

My 9yo did call a girl when he was in the 2nd grade. It was, "hey... whatcha doing? ok bye" .. but still cute.

 

amazingly enough, mine do not care if I go, they know it's the only way they get to go.

 

Hard for me to believe sometimes too. But then again I think that is one reason all the kids like hanging out here. I'm so much younger that the other parents.

 

I'm screwed... my kids friends are gonna thing I'm their grandma. :cry:

 

we are both cool as cool can be! 8) the tall one must wise up......he about a year behind.

 

:lol::lol::lol: you so crazy!

 

of course we are cool. we are more cool than they'll ever realize, and when they finally do, we'll still be cool !

 

my girls have friends that have parents that are as old as their grandparents.

 

Well... when my grandma was born, her mother was 44... so I guess it could be worse..

 

LOL....and I turned out ok.......sorta.


:jester:

 

depends on who you ask8)

 

My grandmother was 38 when I was born, my Mom was 18 when she had me. I'm 38 now and can't begin to imagine being a grandmother!!

My son will be 10 next week and this thread is freaking me out..........:?

 

ww'kdc'd?

 

I like the idea of just letting everyone meet at the theater and sitting a few rows back. Better than not going at all in my book. 8)
