Thanks *freak* for the good wishes and I really hope it will get better. My husband is terrified and strict now that my 14 yr old's in high school. He thinks all teenagers are out of control walking hormones, so I dreaded convincing him she should go to the semi formal dance. It took a major convincing but she's going. I told him I've taught her well, PLUS she a great human being and I have full trust in her. He shouldn't let his fear and assumptions, hold her back from experiencing the fun times in high school. This is off topic but its been a major challenge in our home, with him letting go of his irrational hold. If you raise a child too strict, they'll want to run wild.
