DD14 was stuck in Manhattan from Tuesday morning until late last night (she stayed with my brother and family). Today the first thing she said to me was "can I go hang out with Stephen this afternoon?" WHAT??? lol You aren't dying to spend time with ME?? You'd rather spend time with friends than mom?! HORRORS!! Then, another friend called, and invited her over to decorate their Christmas tree - so she went from one friend to the other! I guess we (family) are a third!
LOL - it wouldn't be so bad, except we (DH, DS, and I) miss her since we havne't seen her all week, and she *was* with her friends during this time!
The trade-off is we're going to family tomorrow - she'll be stuck with us (and no internet access) for four days!

Don't take it personally, I have dd17 and dd19. Between the ages of 14 to about 17, girls do that. I think they temporarily lose their minds for a while, it can be a real roller coaster ride at times....What I do every once and awhile is make a date with them for a girls night out and a family night out, most times they love to go and every once and a while they are not crazy for it if there is something exciting going on with friends. Right now both dd's have boyfriends so they are either here hanging out or at their boyfriends hanging out or at the movies. I find that with my two dd's when I take them out to a restaurant to eat, they start talking about all of the things you have asked about but didn't want to tell you before so of course that is my trick to find out what is going on with them and their friends. Sneaky and they have not figured it out Ha Ha!!
Is dd14 your only daughter? Don't want to scare you or anything, but hold on to your hat!! And please remember DO NOT TAKE ANYTHNG PERSONAL, it is all about them right now.

That is the worst thing that I want to contemplate right now. My DD, 14 is testing my very limit and that statement will put me into a nutty farm!
I'm a newbie on this board but I think I am going to get good use out of it concerning my now and current situations.

I have to smile at the comment "it's all about them right now."
