[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 400112, member: 6546"] JJJ-- I don't know whether to hug you first or laugh with you with....I guess I'll do both:hugs: My difficult child has been doing the same thing - telling me that she's just gonna go ahead and get herself emancipated. (And of course, it's said in the same tone of voice as one might say "Nah! Nah! I get to do whatever I want! You're gonna be so-oorry!") To which I tell her go right ahead. Here are the qualifications you need to meet: After that, she usually gets angry and stomps off. FWIW - I don't see anything wrong with staff supporting her attempts at emancipation. Sometimes, as you know, kids in group home/foster home situations will go from the home straight into adult life. If she were serious, they could help her set some goals and plan it out step by step... And if she's not serious - well, then...that's HER problem. [/QUOTE]
