[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 560933, member: 6546"] ksm-- Just me, but if she would rather lie to your face and block you from fb, then I would be more concerned about what else might be going on. I'd suspect that bad language wasn't the half of it. My difficult child had (possibly still has, who knows?) several fb accounts - most of which were used to hook up with strange men and chat inapproiately. Oh sure - she was more than willing to friend us in the "safe" account that she kept for parents and family. But the "real" accounts? Made up names and photoshopped pics to make her look older. After many, many warnings and many, many consequences...we have finally banned difficult child from our home computer and so far, do not trust her enough to proceed with a driver's license. Our feeling is: if we cannot trust you with a small thing, we are certainly not going to trust you with the responsibility of a big thing. Is our difficult child using other people's computers to chat inappropriately on fb? Probably. I can only enforce what goes on in my home and in my car. What are your reasons for proceeding with a drivers license? Do you feel good about letting your difficult child drive your car? If not - why not? Remember....you should do what feels right to YOU. You are under no obligation to help your child with a drivers license "just because". Driving is a privilege - not a right. Make sure your difficult child is worthy of that right. [/QUOTE]
