What makes teenagers want to hang out at your house?
Comments (31)Our house is THE hang out house for my very social son and his friends. On Friday night, my husband and I were having a quiet dinner in the kitchen when my 16 year old son boiled up from the basement--along with 7 of his pals! They ransacked the kitchen looking for a dessert. I offered them a semi-freddo (Italian frozen cream dessert) I had made for a dinner party but had not served. Their faces lighted up; they fell on it like vultures, and there was only a small morsel left! Our house has always been the magnet for my son's friends. We remodeled the basement some 4 years ago--it is very cozy, and has a big-screen TV, gas fireplace, foosball, bathroom, and refrigerator and freezer (stocked with lots of Trader Joe's foods). It's private, we put in lots of soundproofing--so the noise doesn't bother us--the furniture is comfortable, and they play music, watch movies, and play video games, and have access to my cooking. Our older daughter is away at college, so there are no other siblings around. I'm delighted that our house is the hang out, but I will admit that when schools here were closed for some 9 days (due to the snow) it became a bit much. It felt like I was living in a frat house....See MoreTeenage Violence
Comments (7)You did the right thing, calling the police. In Texas; It is illegal to carry a sword, or any blade over five and a half inches save for: -Historical reenactments, i.e. renaissance fairs and civil war events; -Ceremonies that they are an integral part, i.e. cultural dances and officiating ceremonies; -Any Military or Police Officer in a full dress uniform that a sword or saber is a portion of; -Hunters with a normal sized hunting knife on the way to or coming from a hunting trip with their hunting permits on their person; -Any job requiring the use of a knife or machete larger than five and a half inches with the purchase of a special permit...See MoreNeed Advice about teenagers and boyfriends.

Comments (16)Your friend, the mom, is way too involved. I had two best friends that had small crushes on my husband before we dated, and I recall having crushes on guys in highschool that my friends ended up going out with. All were pretty minor crushes though. I would guess this may be more than just a little crush that the friend had. Was she talking about and following him around, etc? Sometimes in those really heavy crush situations, friends do sort of respect the boundaries. My first reaction was to say that boyfriends come and go, but that girl friends are usually more important in the long run. But, I think that is something everyone needs to learn for themselves from their own experiences. I have a feeling everything will settle down once the couple go out and break up (which they probably will do sooner or later). Although, your daughter may become known as a boyfriend stealer...not really her fault, but be prepared. This one relationship may hurt her reputation and her popularity. And, sadly I think she may find out too late that it probably wasn't worth it. But what else are the teenage years really for if not to learn from trial and error? Bottom line though, it's really nothing either of the mother's should be involved in. I can't understand the other mother's hatred of your daughter. I don't really think there's a good answer or solution when the other mother is just acting so irrational....See MoreMoving with teenagers who aren't happy
Comments (53)I can identify with all sides as well. I lived my whole childhood in one home. When I was 15, my dad wanted to move the family an hour away to be closer to his job. I cried and begged to stay. I couldn't bear leaving my friends and what was familiar. We stayed. I always felt so guilty about that, making my dad drive an hour each way to work for years. He backed off the idea because he loved us, but actually I was a kid. I didn't know what was best for me. I missed out on lots of other friendships and experiences that I would have had going from a country home to a city home. My parents passed away about 13 years ago, 7 months apart, and we had to sell the family home. I miss it terribly and can't bear to see it owned by new owners with the changes they have made, so I haven't even driven by it (all my siblings have). However, my husbands job has moved us 4 times to different states and cities in our 26 year marriage, so my kids haven't had a childhood home with lifelong friends. They have had to adapt. In some ways I wish they had a childhood like mine, of the familiarity of "home". But then again, I maintain one friendship from my childhood. I kind of outgrew my friends that never went anywhere or had any other experiences or my kind of adversity. Once you make a big move, you learn you can do it. It empowers you and gives you courage to try new things, experience new people and cultures, and basically figure out where things are. For that, I'm glad my kids have had those experiences. But I do still feel like an orphan even though I lost my parents at age 40 and my sense of home. Now when we visit that city, we are in a motel and it all feels so wrong. If mom and dad were here I would be with them. I have told my kids they will always have a space at home, no matter how many kids they have and where they may have to sleep. When we are together I want them with me! I still catch myself feeling like I don't know where "home" is. And I don't know where I'll end up when I'm old and that scares me because I'm a planner and like to know what's next. But I'm not in control of that so I have to let it go. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. For now, we have the same special mementos in each home, our routines are the same, I cook the same foods, we relate to each other the same, so no matter what house we live in it is home....See Moremitchdesj
