Annie

I have a 13 y/o DD and she is allowed to use MSN to chat for about an hour, but that is only after all her homework is done. So far it hasnt been too bad, occasionally it will be a little bit longer, but she usually finds something else to do anyway. Her bed time varies, usually between 9-10.30pm, but it depends on her homework load and what else we are doing as a family. Our computer is in the lounge and she knows that we are usually around to watch what she is doing.

All kids try the 'you are so mean' routine, it doesnt work here and my girls know it!
