I agree w/ Mandy. Just always be pleasant & neutral even though it's killing you. I know a few teens in the neighborhood that are hardly home because they feel the parents are "on their backs" as they say, but when I ask what are they talking about it's the usual parent stuff. They think inquires about school, cerfew, drinking, friends, etc. is "controling", so they stay away. My son has a girlfriend that is here alot, she says it's because her home life is very chaotic, & alot of unhappiness & that she finds our home quiet. I sometimes think the teen years is the hardest of all in raising children.
