I was so incredibly happy that dd FINALLY had plans with friends this weekend that DID NOT include boyfriend. Soooo Happy!!

She was supposed to be going to the local amusement park with a friend all day tomorrow and then going to a Lax Team sleepover tomorrow night. The friend that she is going to the amusement park with has been boyfriendless for months, she is one of dd's best friends but at a distance. She does not like dd's boyfriend so I was thrilled dd was spending time with her. Well, in the last week, the friend now has a boyfriend and the four of them are now going tomorrow - arghhh!! This was the friends doing....

I give up!!

Well.... at least it's a foursome rather than a twosome. ;)


I have similar worries about N sometimes, she and T spend SOO much time together.

I can feel your pain,,,,

My DD when she was a senior started dating just the worst guy. He was the opposite of what I thought she'd date and while she didn't drop her girlfriends, they had two very separate groups of friends. I did everything to convince her to break up with him. She did not listen to a work of my advice and there were more than a few times that she came to me crying on my shoulder about him. If I felt I could stomache giving her advice I would...and when she spent time with just him, I was so mad and so wishing she were not.

Let me just say this, no amount of arguing worked, and I really regret some of the terrible arguments we had. My husband did it much better and only stepped in and put his foot down if she was being stupid, thoughtless, or it was obviously just plain wrong.

The boyfriend finally shot himself in the foot by cheating on her with a skanky girl. They broke up after 1.5 yrs of me hating it the whole time. She's matured, swears she'll not make that mistake again and is back to her old self.

Now my son is 17 yrs old, dates a very smart nice girl and what's wrong with that? They spend all their free (not much since they are so busy) together, just found out they're having sex and basically, besides calmly telling him how disgusted and dissapointed I am, their will be no yelling and I hope after I get over my dissapointment I will find a way to be nice to him again. Right now I'm just so stinkin disgusted that our society and our world has made young people think that they are entitled to enjoy this part of life as long as they protect themselves!

Kids, ya gotta love em!
