    AND.. DD2 thinks she can be mean to DS3 just because her friend is here so I not only threatened to send her friend home (which would also pee off her mother.. apparently they have friends staying over from France and needed her bed for their guests!! :eek:) I threatened to slap the nasty look off her face.. methinks I be on a roll!

    Well.. DD1 had her friends sent home after I discovered they had taken a bottle of smirnoff ice each... I don't CARE what they are allowed at home they are 17 and 15 and my girl is 14 and I am simply and absolutely NOT having it. Am I not just the most evil, oppressive narrow-minded molly coddling parent EVER!!?? :rolleyes: .. good job I decided to stay home last night otherwise Lord knows what they might have got up to! DD1 is also grounded until February (it sounds longer than 3 weeks) and she is not allowed any one else to stay over until she can prove to me she is responsible enough. AND she has to tidy her room.. until it is spotless.. so I can be sure she doesn't have a 'stash' in there.. I love my job! lol

    DD2 has trashed the front room with her friend but they will be tidying it later as I'm not having it all to do myself.
    I wonder if they told their parents why they were sent home!!! Thats really bad - to take alcohol to someone elses - and an under age friend at that - I cant believe kids do these things today - and where did they get it? at home? LOL it was just as well you were there and NO I dont think you are being hard I think you are being very responsible - and I know that DD1 will have to pay the price - you are not soft!!!
    toots xx

    ETA just seen where it came from - so they nicked it basically!!!! appalling!!!! they are leading your DD astray!!
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    no-- it was mine.. but the bottle of cider I found the lid from wasn't..... :mad: :mad:

    I rang the parents and told them why they were sent home... one of them (17 y/o's mum) didn't care!! and the other apologise and said she'd have a word and I know she will.
