escapee, 8 lbs, 3 oz and 20.5 inches at 2:11 p.m.
and michaela is a great name for a baby!!

rosie, it was never going to be an all-out drinking party. it was always going to to be the parents buying for the girl, her boyfriend and the best girlfriend. what i didn't like was that the parents knew it wouldn't be right for the best friend or there would not have been 'hide it from the parents' and 'only a couple of drinks' for that person talk.
the parents have always thought of their daughter as above everyone else. i think because her sister was born at only 13 ounces during the 1989 loma prieta earthquake, they spent so long in the hospital with the tiny baby they have felt they need to do 'extra' for the older daughter (preemie sister also has cerebral palsy). when she and dd had to work on a history assignment in the 7th grade, the mom had to bring out a huge daily minder just for this older daughter. she could spare 15 minutes 'a week from sunday'. they had her in dance, horseback riding, 4-h, cheerleading, girl scouts, singing lessons, modeling, and several other activities. she was booked solid from 7:00 a.m. til 10:00 p.m. every day of the week. that's one reason dd pulled away from her.
the girl is dating a guy who is 20 and shehas a promise ring he gave her for christmas. she has always worn dancing clothes that were very provocative and worn makeup since she was 11.
i think this is just another way of the parents trying to make up for something and letting her get ahead of her years again.
the mother was convinced this girl was the next lindsay lohan and was going to make tons of money and achieve a lot of fame. (not that i like lindsay lohan, but the mom thought she was the yardstick to measure her dd by).

right now, tabby the more details that you are giving now sound like the girl is doing some bragging that isn't really gonna happen. i bet that her parents don't even really know. it just doesn't ring true. something isn't right with the story.

RN, i'll bet a million dollars that it is true about the parents providing the alcohol. i know this family. they will do anything for their daughter, even the wrong thing.

rn, i agree w/ the posts above that something doesn't seem right w/the story.

the daughter is having a party and only one person is invited? (well, 2 if you count the boyfriend).

i think best just to tell the school counselor there is a rumour going around that the parents might allow the kids to drink, you don't know the facts, if any. tell her to call the parents just to check on the rumour. if she won't, then tell her you will have to handle it. i bet if you tell her that, she will make a call. she would be in big trouble if she ignored the info. you gave her.

i don't think your daughter's name (or your name either) should have to be mentioned.

RN, it was always going to be a party just for the family, the boyfriend and best girlfriend. that doesn't make it right to give them alcohol. (i am not sure where some got the idea it was going to be a big party) i think they are 'allowing' it in exchange for her just having a couple of guests. i know these people. this is exactly what they would do. i think they feel they should do something 'special' for their daughter. there isn't much left since she has done everything else, so alcohol is something they can do for her.

i also think calling the counselor is best and i would only say it was a 'rumor' because i didn't hear it firsthand.
there was a rumor here a few years ago about 8-year-olds taking a gun to school because they were mad they got homework. a little boy told his mother when he overheard a conversation. the police found the gun buried in the sandbox at school. the boys weren't sure they were going to use it, but had brought it 'in case' they decided to go ahead with it. thank God another child didn't find the gun at recess; the police search happened just after school started for the morning.

RN, saxy you can name your baby whatever you desire. i'm not crazy about 'grace' but that's because i have known some awful ones and it's been way too popular lately. i like 'gracie' better. but that's just me! i used to love the name 'bernadette'. then i got partnered with a bernadette at camp and i couldn't stand that name anymore :-)

RN, I just want to say one thing. If it was me,Id write a letter and somehow get it to the parents, letting them know what you have over heard,Or call them, someway inform thease parents that there is a rumer going around about your concerns... If you call the police, If they get arrested, any of thease things, you could compleatly devestate thier lives, the children could be taken away,they could be put in foster care, the children and the parents would all suffer drastic measures. Of course you want to protect your children and others, but as a curtisy...try to inform the parents befor hand and then they will be aware that they need to think long and hard about what they may..Or may not- be doing....Ive seen many familys break apart and be ruined, when CPS is informed and it may not even be true. This is just my thought.

RN,If after warning them, they still provide alchol to minors, then you have a responsibilty to inform other parents or law if you feel fit..

RN, that's what i was hoping the counselor could do. she could call the family and say a rumor was going around school about alcohol for their underage daughter and some friends and 'i know you would never allow that to happen, but i thought you should know there is talk', blah, blah.
that would give the parents an out. if they were going to provide alcohol and they knew people 'knew' or suspected, they might change their mind about it.

RN, good luck Escapee!!!! :-) I'm not good at guessing sizes and such, so I'll just wait and see what you report afterwards.

RN, Tabby, I said my piece on your situation. Let us know how it all turns out. :-)

RN, landi you are so wonderful with the lower weight, but not with how long she has to wait!!

RN, i emailed the shelter yesterday to ask about an extension on the neutering date for kendall and mentioned he was on two antibiotics for kennel cough. i got a very quick reply this morning, in all caps saying if he was on amoxicillin and or clavamox, they do not help with what is running through the valley shelters and he has had to be put on baytril and zithromax immediately or this will go into distemper! yowser. i didn't say what meds he WAS on, but he is on clavamox and amoxicillin! perhaps the shelter should contact vets and let them know about the kennel cough in our area. sheesh! please pray it's not too late for kendall! he has been sick almost two weeks now. we are going to the vet's office right now!!
