Looking after 2 teenage girls - May need advice!!

Whatever you do make sure that you tell them not to ask the police for directions if they get lost.

They'd be safer asking the nearest patched gang member.

So we have a 16 year old good looking naive country girl..

I'll be right down to take special care of her :-P

Very good!!!

Well thanks for your input - "hide the laptop" is a good one. I figured that for booze they need ID so I'm safe there. Bit of a dilemma there, cos I don't drink and I know that they do have it at home. I guess if they want one they can buy it and have it at home with me present.

Since I wrote the thread the 16 yr old lad now 17 has a couple of days of work so said he would look after them for a day - he's now very mature and a great guy. He rang me the other day and talked for an hour!!

I'll put together a list of things mentioned above for them.

I guess my parents survived my teenager-hood cos they didn't know 1/4 of what I was up to. I remember telling my father the truth once - never did it again. The lecture lasted 2 hours long!!

send them up to auckland, i'll enterian them for minutes! Pm me for my adress.

snaked....that was my line

Buy them a day rover on the trains and send em up to paraparaumu to the mall etc, they can stop at porirua on the way back. Most places don't have commuter trains so it's quite novel for a lot of people.

Parliament is worth a visit, likewise Te Papa / readings etc but you know all that. Don't forget the good old cable car and if they are fit, get them to climb Mt Vic. If it's this week, Exodus gym is having an open week - they will be blown away by it.

Fergs kayaks have a climbing wall and rent kayaks.

i'm sure me and my brother could look after them if they head up to pram. pretty sure hes gay so theres nothing to worry about.

1) Chain them up.
If that fails...
2) They can hang out with my son. *Wait* Before you (all) assume that there is something untoward in that (those of you that know me) understand that he is not me. He is on the student council at school, is a senior member of the first 15 and attends church regularly. These in themselves do not the man make (Yoda) but if he wasn't my son he'd be someone I'd trust (and I've told my daughter I'll be 3 feet away with a large rusty knife at all times!)
or,
3) Give them some basic rules and trust them - you can't do too much else.
