[QUOTE="carolanne, post: 103237, member: 1904"] difficult child Jess has tried to tell her a group home isn't all sunshine and roses. She's told her about being beat up by the other girls, having her ipod stolen and her cds trashed, she's told her about the chores that are never ending(her one job was to scrub out the garbage dumpster each week) and how the basic allowance of $9 per week was impossible to earn and would be stolen. Key lock is now installed on my computer. I told both girls last night I am going back to the way I used to parent before all this trouble was stirred up. Becky said and I quote "try it and see what happens"....she now has no computer, phone or tv for the week. She kept mouthing off and I gave her the dictionary and said ten pages NOW....took her two hours but she did it. Never got a good night at bedtime....oh that sooo hurt [img]:rofl:[/img] This morning she demanded her lunch....I told her to make her own....just a few minutes ago I found her dirty clothes shoved into my little guys wagon so I tossed it all into the yard....yep, I used to do that all the time...can't hang your coat up or put your shoes in the closet? Out the door they go.... I've also decided that christmas is not going to be $$$$$. I wanted to make this one better than last year which was a flop due to difficult child only showing up to grab and run...so I've pared the list back and they are only getting the new mp4 players they asked for and two other smaller gifts....more than enough for kids who have treated mom less than you would a stranger.... This is gonna be tough I know...but I suddenly feel like I am back....I am the toughest person in this house and this child will not have the power any longer to break my spirit.... Carolanne ps. I called the school and now they will phone for each infraction and she is being given detention for one week. Most detentions are sitting in a class reading but for her....they've decided that she will be washing down blackboards....92 classrooms and 18 portables.... [img]:bravo:[/img] [/QUOTE]
