[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 160055, member: 3626"] Honestly, you're kinder than I am. I wouldn't even remotely be worrying about the "prom," let alone worrying about what she's going to wear. She needs to get all homework caught up, her room clean and chores done properly for at least a full week before the prom would even be a remote consideration. An attitude adjustment would be nice but she is at THAT age, so that may be asking for too much. I gather she still has use of the house phone to call friends, etc. That may be why losing the cell isn't quite that big of a deal (or she's bought a use by the minute one and maybe boyfriend is helping her pay for it?). Since the cell phone loss isn't working, it may be time to up the stakes. The prom would definitely be part of it. All phone and computer access could be another. Basically, grounding her until the homework is caught up. Sorry you're going through this. I really hated the early teen years. I think every mother of a girl does -- they're just not very nice people at that age. (((HUGS))) [/QUOTE]
