[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 329344"] I think if she's been respectful to you and your parents in recent months, a gift card for this past holiday is/was a great idea and you might want to consider them in the future too (again, as long as she has been respectful to you and your folks). Something like Target, Kmart or Walmart. I wouldn't go overboard though. If you are worried about her purchasing alcohol, then I would probably purchase a gift card to a favorite clothing, music store or restaurant that doesn't serve alcohol. Don't overly concern yourself about how she feels. Your goal is to get her a present and to make it one that is appropriate (in more ways than one). Perhaps it is good that she sees there are consequences to her behaviors. She is blessed to have a mother who cares about her as you do. This is where she should put her thoughts. In time, in the future, she can make better choices and certainly these things can change for her later (if that is her desire and she makes different choices). It is up to her and on her for this to happen. Not your doing. Happy Holidays! [/QUOTE]
