Teenagers and House Alarms

zlicius · 11-30-2009, 12:42 PM

They are VERY good parents. They also drug test her. Keeps them honest. For example, if you know your mom will do random drug/cig tests, it's easy to "just say no" since you can say "my mom piss tests me, sorry, i'll pass". just like "my mom sets the alarm at night, can't sneak out I'll get busted, sorry, I'll pass".

Why are they locking her in the house? For her to keep curfew?

I'm assuming so she doesn't sneak out at night.

so let her toggle the alarm - then print out the report the next morning on the toggling and let her know that turning the alarm off is the same as leaving the house - since the parents won't know if she actually left the house or just turned the alarm on/off. Then punish her for breaking curfew.

Like you & your friends didn't at that age.

And even if you got into trouble from it, you LEARNED from it....

I hope they're doing it because she recently fucked up and this is the punishment......If on the other hand they've ALWAYS been doing it, that's extremely weak parenting skillz IMO.

.

I have an 11 1/2 year old because of it. Hard lesson to learn, and I'm STILL not "caught up" from that stupidity--meaning, should be done w/ school, should be further in my career, but not because I was busy playing teen mommy.

Wouldn't it be better to avoid that situation if you could w/ a little ole house alarm?

To me, if she really wants to have sex, how is an alarm going to stop it? She'll just do it in the bleachers, or right after school at her b/f house or his car.

How good of a job did your parents do talking to you about the consequences of pregnancy, and how sex shouldn't be rushed, and how if you do have it you need to use protection?

Making things a "mystery" makes kids want it even more, IMO

my parents didn't do anything. they let the school do it. and that was very minimal in the middle of the bible belt.

the problem is they TRUSTED me to know to do the right thing when I was 17. Since I was an honor student, they TRUSTED i would be able to make a smart decision. 17 y.o.s do not KNOW a smart decision if it smacked them upside the head.

Looking back, I don't know how I survived thru the teen years... LOL

BUT, back on track. I really want to know what the hell this kid is doing to the alarm system.

sounds like a pretty pathetic game that the kid is winning. The parents thought they would be smart by alarming the house to keep her in and she found a way to make the system tell her when the code is changed and to what.

you can't "control" a teen. you raise them right as little kids and hope they stay on path if they don't you punish them but not play stupid games like this.

Since no one said it yet I say just call the fire dept, they seem to be the problem solvers down there with home security
