i love that she had to be home at 8. It is not a right to be out that late...or out at all for that matter....to be out that late you have to prove you are trustworthy.....and it doesn't look like she has been there very long.
MamaS-she could have grabbed dinner with her friends and caught an early movie and still been home by 8. not liking your curfew is not an excuse for running away.
i'm sorry you had to put up with that.
what goes through their minds? nothing but anger...they don't think long term...only short term. short term they want to do what THEY want and prove they DON'T have to listen to you. They don't care or don't think about what will happen to them as a result as long as they are getting what they want RIGHT NOW. Parenting teens is fun, isn't it.
