face the jury

.

I must have pissed the gods off when I said drama free. It lasted all of two days.

Today when I came home from work Ashley informed me that Hannah and Stephanie had created "Face the Jury" accounts, complete with pictures, pictures no parent would approve of. Right about that time they come strolling in. I sit them both down and try not to scream and yell. I inform them about static IP addresses, how easy it would be for some pedophile to find them. I make Hannah delete the account. I ask Stephanie, what would your parents do if they knew about this? And ask her to give me one good reason why I shouldn't call them. They are so flat out busted they have nothing to say. Oh wait, let me back up, I ask Hannah about the picture, she says "It's hot" I am about to slap her, you better rethink your answer. She knows I'm not playing.

They retreat to Hannahs room, I go up to finish off the talk. Hannah is crying. I should call Stephanies parents and tell them. If I do, they would forbid them from being together. I don't want to continue my rep as the mom who tears friends apart. I inform Hannah they are on strike two, strike three will get you moved to a different school and no more Stephanie.

We are all on the couch watching the show on MTV about overweight kids and people, I look at Hannah, home with her 'rents on a Saturday night when her favorite band and drummer are at the coffee house 2 miles away. I hate the part where you have to do something that falls under "for their own good". I tell Hannah, "Don't be like Ashley. Don't get yourself in so much trouble that you end up constantly being grounded and resent this house and this family" Her reply? "I know it's my fault Mom, you are not the reason I am home tonight"

Maybe it's bullshit, maybe it's true. Oh, and on the profile she list herself as bi-sexual. I'm not sure how I feel about that at this point either.

No rest for the wicked it would appear .....
