[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 414351, member: 3493"] Laptop taken away - definitely. Cell phone - limited to being able to call home or 911 and no texting or internet. Car - I don't believe in giving kids cars. We will be helping daughter get one in about a year and a half but that's because she'll be student teaching and she can't get there in the snow on her motorcycle. Oldest boy uses ours for his delivery job. She can take the bus to college, plenty of kids do. I did and lived to tell. Graduation party - you still have time on this. Grad is not for 3 months. You might want to wait till things calm down and talk to her about how her behavior is keyed to this one. Let her know that you WILL cancel it at the last minute if needs be. Money - if she's using it for cigs and alky, I agree cut it off, bring lunch from home. I will say that when I was a HS senior, I ran away from home for a week. I went from friend to friend's house but I often did that so the parents weren't suspicious and I never said I was running away. I just needed a break. I did not drink, smoke or have sex while I was away and one day, I just went home and it was never mentioned again. [/QUOTE]
