[QUOTE="Fran, post: 222675, member: 3"] I'm not sure what your relationship was like before this incident but I would tell her that she had one chance to break the rules and learn a lesson. If it happens again she will be taken out of the temptation by going to boarding school. And mean it. The way I figure it is that if kids didn't make mistakes or screw up they wouldn't need parents. They are a work in progress. If she learns that betraying trust results in consequences and she does it again then the consequence will increase. Keep researching your options in terms of her doing it a second time but be very clear to easy child what your intent is and what your plan is and stick to it. I always expected easy child to stumble as all kids do. If he did, he would get serious consequences, some life lessons, some serious "warrior mom" time and be sent on his way to exhibit some emotional growth. If he did it a second time, there would be no discussion. He would be removed from the temptation. Fortunately, they believe I do what I say a large percentage of the time. I know you are upset. Let things settle before you make any decisions. She needs to learn from her mom that what she did is not ok. : ( I'm sorry for your family. [/QUOTE]
