16 year old hanging with a single mom
| Thu, 06-28-2007 - 4:30pm |
My DD is 16 years old. She and her boyfriend broke up about 3 months ago. She hasn't moved on yet and is still calling and trying to get him back. She has become really close to a mom of one of her friends. This is a 33 year old single mom. The mom has tried to help my DD get back with her boyfried. My DD wants to go and hang at her apartment alot and I recently discovered that the mom took her to happy hour one evening. I don't think that my DD drank any alcohol, but I found out a lot of guys were hitting on her. She and the mom are making plans to go out again. I should mention that my daughters friend does not live with her mom, but with her grandparents. My DD wants to go to the single moms apartment even when her friend is not over there. What should I do about this. I have tried to step in and stop my DD from going over there, and we always get into a huge argument.

I'm totally with you on this one Pam!

Taking her to happy hour, whether she allowed her to drink or not,is totally inappropriate.
This is a "no" worth arguing over(or, as already suggested, have the 3o something come to your home-if it's just a good friend to talk to as I suspect dd is claiming that should be acceptable)
I totally agree with Pam on this one.
