If it was late then everybody just goes home? Right?
That's what we did... and I thought everyone else did too.
The girls in my house have been known to say "Girls rule... boys drool"
I have taken that as a lesson plan for my son. I tell him... "Girls rule... WHEN boys drool". I tell him that you have to remain in control of the situation. Not in control of people... per se... but in control of the situation. When it is time to go home... then don't take no for an answer. When lines are beginning to be crossed you have to take control of that situation....
These are things I was ill equipped to execute.

Totally agree with you on this - "You have to remain in control of the situation, not in control of people."

That's the most level headed thinking!
