Why can't your kids choose friends that you approve of and have good parents with strong moral values like your own?
They always seem to choose the ones you disapprove of  |

Haha strong moral values? I have the morals of an alley cat so not really in a position to judge.  |

I don't mind so much in the lighter nights but this time of year they are in after school instead of hanging about street corners. Have had the group of numpties the last few weeks playing knock and run wrecking the local park throwing things at buses and causing a general nuisance. Some parents just don't give a toss out of sight out of mind. |

well your the dad its upto you when your child goes out, if you tell her she cant go out she cant loiter on streets
Personally, and this is only my opinion, i think 11 years old is to young to be out without an adult anyway
I suppose it depends where you live but theres no way id let a 11 year old out the house alone |

too true and thats why i wouldnt let a child out at that age, they are so easily lead and just want to fit in, if its dark i feel they should be in, theres no reason for a child that age to be walking the street, its to dangerous for a start |

I so agree with this, but the other girl's parents are careless and now my daughter thinks I am too strict

Bit of advice, make of it what you will. My daughter got in with a bad lot when she was 11 and I had the police round a couple of times. Nothing dreadful, just kids stuff, but not really the sort of thing you want. I stopped her from seeing the people she was hanging around with and a couple of years later she thanked me.
Sometimes kids think they want to be all independant but things get out of hand, and they need nasty mummy or daddy to get them out of a situation they are losing control over. I'd rather be thought of as the strictest mother of the year than have to sort out when things go very wrong.
My daughter is now 18 and a lovely young woman, so all turned out well. Good luck! |

my son was a problem for a while wrong crowd was always out but hes great lad now totally changed.
my daughter comes home straight from school never goes out school nights. sometimes on a sat will go out with a mate but more often than not she is happy just being at home. she sees her mates at school the rest of the time she says is to spend with her mum. |

Its all bout keeping them occupied if Rosie had it her way she would be in her room day and night on facebook and that's not healthy either. |

100% agree
my eldest daughter was a flipping pain in the arse early teenage years, thought she knew it all, packed her bags most weeks to move out because i was a cow and didnt love her because i wouldnt let her run a riot and do what she liked, i called social services myself for help witn her, because i love my kids and i was big enough to admit i couldnt cope with her, got the help i needed and shes now a manager of a pre school creche, at only 20, 6/7 years ago i wouldnt have trusted her to look after a gold fish while i was at work
Its called tough love and sometimes we have to do it |

I have girls, never had a problem with them. From the get go I made it abundantly clear in my house I was the queen, the sultana, the empress, she who must be obeyed. Anyone having a problem with that was not being held hostage and was free to leave at anytime I wouldn't stand in their way if they wanted to be wards of the state.
My then husband and I had rules, no going out on school nights. Weekends they had to be home before dark, in the winter that meant 4pm and 10pm in the summer...and that was when they were 16.
We raised them to be independent and hopefully choose their friends wisely. I've only had to say "people judge you by the company you keep" a couple of times.
Thankfully my girls have never felt the need to hang around street corners like hood rats.
