Help! Suggestions Please?

Hey all,

Some of you may know I have a 17 year old daughter named Brittany, she lived with me until she was 12 and then my ex-husband got custody of her. It's a very painful subject for me, so some of you may not be aware of it. Anyway I don't get to talk to her often, and that is painful also. I talked with her yesterday and found out she does want to see me this summer, YAY!!!! She flys in next Sunday the 28th of June and will stay until July 28th. I'm nervous about it though, what if I get sick and she has a lousy time, what if things don't go well, etc. I told her we could go see the horses, and she liked that idea, but I think I need more ideas for fun. Does anyone have any ideas for something fun I could do with my 17 year old daughter to be sure she has a good time? This is very important to me so any help or suggestions you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Michele Just keep telling yourself you are going to have a great time and you will. Maybe when you talk to her tell her to think about what she would like to do.They always love chineses food and shopping. The big thing to remember is your her mother and just love on her and show her.

Love

Teenagers like doing things such as going to the mall they are also into movies and getting there nails and hair done another thing I would suggest is just being honist with her and if you start feeling sick she i am sure will understand but even just going shopping together for music or something she likes will make her happy or going out for a meal just spend time catching up with her I know how you feel I only see my daughter who the state took from me and was put up for adoption through open adoption twice a tear so I understand it can be hard but here are some suggestions hope they help

Well I'm a seventeen year old teen and here are some of the things i love to do with my mom, hope they help you alot:

- Watching a movie

-Shopping

-Going for walks

-Camping!

-going out for lunch

-Spending a day at the beach

Hope this helps, and i hope you have lots of fun with your daughter

Thats a tough one for me to answer,so I will have to confer with my daughter for some ideas.But maybe since she wants to come for the summer,maybe she just wants to spend time with you.

Will get back to you.

HI Thats neat that your daughter wants to see you. I'm sure it will seem different at first but it will all work out. Just remember she to is going to feel uncomforable at first not knowing you real well and what you like. Just have fun talking and see what you guys have in common and like doing. You can always try movies, grab a good book or magazine and head to the beach or take a walk and visit what ever you guys figure out it be nice. Just have fun!! The Time will go so fast.

Take Care

Wow, you all have such great suggestions! I will take her to see the horses, and maybe we can camp out there, my friend has 40 acres. Camping would be fun. I do think a pedicure is a great idea, maybe a movie. I know she wants some sea food and something from Panera Bread, so we will do that for sure. We have a zoo safari thing here in OK that might be fun, good idea DeathWish. Chinese Food is a great idea, we used to that when she lived here, we used to sneak off just the two of us, Yum. Veronique, all of your suggestions are great, I think she would love them, she also like books, maybe we should go to the bookstore one day and get a coffee, we both love Latte's. Oh and Gizzmo, we will definately be heading to the beach, that will be fun! Oh should I make like a menu with all of these on there and let her pick, or is that corny? Thanks so much all!!!! I don't know what I'd do without you all!!!!!!
