And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

just wondering
is it not ok to tell your 14 yr old to go to bed at 10 pm? what is the norm here people? am i too controlling? am i an overprotective mother? i, who smoked more weed at 14 than i ever have since, in my whole entire life? am i for some reason being overprotective?
not allowed to hang out at the mall not allowed to hang out down-town not allowed to chat on msn for more than 1 hr per day not allowed to watch tv for more than one hr /day not allowed to wear slinky tight short camisols to school i force her to eat yogurt
as benjamin franklin said, "early to bed, early to rise, makes a teenager healthy, wealthy + wise." i wish my mom had made me go to bed at a reasonable hour when i was a teenager. it's hard enough getting out of bed in the morning after a good nights sleep + it's harder for teenagers biologically. she'll thank you later. it's a healthy habit.

other ways i make my daughter miserable:
not allowed to hang out at the mall
not allowed to hang out down-town
not allowed to chat on msn for more than 1 hr per day
not allowed to watch tv for more than one hr /day
not allowed to wear slinky tight short camisols to school

yogurt? perhaps you go too far, lol.
our kids (15 and 13) go to bed at 9:30 on school nights.
no vid games during the week
certainly no 'hanging out' at the mall
nor downtown.
yes, chat restricted.
girls are harder than boys (everything's a fight with them), but they require a shorter leash.
you're doing fine.
