The truth of the matter is most teenagers are going to dabble in these things. It’s not shocking to me that a 14 year old is hanging with her mates having a joint and boozing. Im slightly relieved she’s not stuck in her bedroom in that house being ignored. My parents didn’t drink and yet even way back when I was 14, there was no social media, we were hanging out on the streets and at house parties buying 10 fags between 20 (you could buy fags at any age then) of us and drinking booze. My parents were really strict I wasn’t really allowed to go out, smoke, drink have a boyfriend but that didn’t mean I didn’t I just lied about where I was going and it was just all kept secret. By the age of 16 we were easily getting in pubs, nobody was asking for ID. When I look back my parents had no clue and I could have got in all sorts of problems. I have no doubt that my kids did similar, I know for sure they were going to parties and “gatherings” at 14-16 where there was booze because they asked me to get it. I wasn’t particularly comfortable doing that but at least I knew where they were, who they were with and we talked about it and I would control the amount and type of booze. I warned them to keep hold of what id given them and not drink any punch or spirits. Quite often if I gave them 2 cans of larger/cider they’d bring one back. It’s mostly about the bravado of being all grown up.
Sorry to waffle but my point is that, despite the fact I find the SODs unbearable, we can’t really point the finger at their social media performances, because this, to me, is standard teenage diabetes, Anya could well have been left to her own devices and there’s been a massive lack of parenting. In my experience, teens is the most difficult time, it’s when you really have to up your parenting game, it’s not a time to think, yeah no more sleepless nights we can start focusing on ourselves again, it’s time to double down and it’s when the real parenting work begins.
I think the most shocking thing here is that A has put it on an open social media site, but that actually shows how immature and naive she is. Remember just back in January her father was promoting her “film” collab and she’s put her IG handle on that, so her account is accessible and probably followed by thousands of his hunz/weirdos.
I wrote this this morning and forgot to post I see many are saying similar.
Sorry that was a lot of word salad
But what I came here to say is that in Slys tags 5 days ago someone posted that their daughter and M had met up as diabetes buddies. Glen is pictured looking all tan and not looking remotely like she’s on a campsite...but in their home. The camping story is such bull
tit old news why is he pretending it’s just happened
dick
Ps best to look quick at his tags cos I’m betting it will be gone the moment they read here
What have they gone from here?
