My 14 year old daughter has been caught sneaking out of the house at night. I'm quite prepared to have a conversation about safety, trust, peer pressure, etc. And I'm not freaking out and dropping the hammer on her. I'm disappointed in the decision-making and that she lied when caught. But I see this as testing boundaries, and pretty normal teenage behavior. It doesn't mean I have to condone it, and that there won't be reasonable consequences, but this is not the end of the world, and she's still a good kid.However, here's my question. Do I tell her friends' parents what the kids have been up to? I think I would want to know if the situation were reversed. And I do believe it takes a village to raise kids today. But I'm concerned her friends will take it out on her for "getting them in trouble". Especially if other parents don't react as rationally. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2Ntq6gW
