Note: She left her son at the skate rink and he came home without permission. She sounds like a frustrated, but perfectly reasonable parent to me.

agreed...
did not realize the skate rink part... should have read slower *grin*
On that some note..
Last night my 13 year old confessed to me that he tried a cig....
ok so I didnt freak out because I was glad he talked to me and I gave him the usual lecture calmly..
but man
It is so odd to have a teenager, and even more odd is knowing he is going to be trying and doing all the same shit I did..
all I can hope for is everything I taught him sinks in...
I feel good he trusted me to tell me that though, so maybe I have done something right so far
