Hey guys,
So I need a moral compass on something I have done. As someone who doesn't have children but is looking after a teenager, I have handled a social situation for her and am wondering if I did so in the correct manner.
Long story short, my wife's little sister lives with us and has been having issues with another girl over a boy. At 4am this morning I got woken up by a text from the other girl with derogatory terms regarding my wife's sister as well as threats. I wasn't wanting to get involved in the teenager stuff however I was very annoyed about getting woken up and what I was being messaged about.
My wife's sister was awake at the time and sent me a screenshot of the other girl's mother's profile and her phone number after I told my wife's sis what was going on. My response was sending that info to the girl who messaged me with the following:
'Oh hi mom - give me one good reason why I shouldn't call her right now?'
Do you guys think I have gone about this the right way? I don't want to freak anyone out at all but I had been woken up with nasty messages containing threats and responded as best as I could while still being half asleep and very agitated.
Should I have not responded and called her mother at 4.30am?
Should I call her mother during a respectable hour?
Help, I have been thrown in the deep end with this teenage parenting thing and my brain doesn't work properly in the wee hours of the morning!
