Now as a group of 17 year olds, and the majority of us being quite scatty things get sorted last minute so we know exactly who can come and when they are free. My mum however expects things to be planned at least a week in advanced but the other night she was talking about stuff in 2 months time, causing a huge argument as I can't see into the future that far.
Ok, planning an evening out or whatever in advance is not always appropriate, but your mum is totally right to insist on knowing where you are going to be, who with, and when and how you intend to get home. Miss Yudster is a bit younger than you, but those are the rules we go by - with the proviso that if I don't like the answer to any of the questions, I can veto. She knows I only do that if I have a really good reason though.
