<p>The fact that she said, okay, well I will babysit may mean she wasn’t that pushed to begin with. I mean, an 18 year old can take a cab at midnight. Her friends can stay out, and she leaves quietly. If she didn’t push, then maybe you gave her a way out. </p>
<p>I told my 16 year old, when she went to a club, I would (yeah crazy mom) be glad to get her at 1130. She could go, but I wasn’t happy to have her at this particular place later then that. Being only 16, she was fine with the compromise, but I can jsut imagine in 2 years. For now, we see how each event goes one event at a time. </p>
<p>ps- I always leave before midnight when I am out- when bars close at two, every idiot is on the road</p>
