    oh dear, you have my sympathies Sammy. Hope she's learned her lesson now and doesn't pull a stunt like that again - kids eh!

  • I would go nuts at a 15 year old who left the house at 3.30 in the morning!

    its so dangerous!

    Perhaps Sammy you should sneak out at 3.30 in the morning without telling any one and have them wake up to you not there? see what OH says to that?

    and congratulations on Charlie's win!! that's cool

    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Oh ~Sammy!!!!

    Well, make her pay, then forgive her-we all do/did it I'm sire at some point but let her know how upset and worried you were , ground her for a month (after b-day party) then sit down and have a giggle about it....

    She has been fairly hysterical since she realised I had found her out! We have kind of made our peace now and she knows I am just so disappointed with her. I just can't stand the OH going on about it, making out that I am miserable to cancel the party!!!!! No!
