MSN logs all the chats. I've told my daughter this and said that I will check them if I think I need to - if she deletes them, then I'll block her MSN on the router. Put bluntly, she is using one of my computers and and the internet I pay for. I trust her not to abuse it, but if I feel the need to check then I will. I have checked it a couple of times and it is pretty shocking what they say, but then it's how kids talk to each other.

Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -

Of course you can answer the question but until you have kids of your own you can only *assume* how you will handle such a situation. Nothing prepares you for how much having kids can change you.Originally posted by SallyAnne View PostComment

Yeah SA but what you can never understand is the absolute emotional hold that a child has on you once you are a parent. I would've agreed with you before I became a parent, even had the step-daughter so thought I understood but once you have your own the gut wrenching feelings you get about them are akin to nothing else.Originally posted by SallyAnne View Post
Doesn't mean your view as a daughter who has been a teenage girl isn't valid tho'.
Also being a teenage girl is a whole new world in last few years with t'internet and all that. Also culture is different - I thought caned the fags and booze when I was 15 but I'm nowt compared to some of my step-daughter's peers!! They seem to do less drugs than we did though - weird, I thought that was on the rise.Comment

The best thing you can do is make sure she's not going to become a teenage mother, i.e. have the talkLast edited by Bagpuss; 1 October 2007, 10:58.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

I modified that becuase it looked like encouraging her, obviously 14 year old mums are very common in this country thoughOriginally posted by WindyAnna View PostThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

"The talk" is important. Getting her to understand that it is okay to say "no" or to say "yes" on her terms is the difficult bit ...Originally posted by Bagpuss View Post
Teenage boys quotes from my mis-spent youth ... "I can't use them, they're too small" (yeah, right), "I can't feel anything with one of them on", "It'll make you sore if I use one so it's better for you without", "I'm allergic to rubber" and all the usual "you can't get pregnant the first time/standing up", "I'll stop if you don't like it". AAARGH teenage boys - quick check with step-daughter inidcates all of the above still in circulation 20 years on.Comment

Just buy a chastity belt. That should solve the problem.
Part of me says that I'm looking forward to intimidating boyfriends when my girls get to that age (as my now father-in-law did to me). Part of me says that I'm absolutely petrified about the thought of boyfriends.
Hopefully, I've got some years to go yet - they're 4 and 15 months. Mind you, they're both pretty flirty so I can see the need to get a beating stick.Comment
