[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 456938, member: 1233"] Welcome! It is nice to have you com eout from lurkdom to join us. I LOVE the word "know-it-all-itude" because it so perfectly expresses that typical teen attitude! It fits like conflama fits (conflict + drama = conflama - from Maya Angelou on some show ages ago). Your girls sure do have it all down, don't they? I know how you felt responsible to give school a head's up to what they will do, now you have done it and you can lay it ALL back on the school as the VP chose to ignore you. People like htat drive me batty and they are everywhere. If you can do a signature it would help us keep the info about your family straight - it can get a tad bit confusing here. I urge you to read Parenting Your Teen with Love and Logic as it might give some tips. Otherwise, remember you don't have to provide anything but a mattress, sheet, pillow, blanket, seven outfits, one pr shoes, and food that is nourishing to the girls. EVERYTHING else can be removed at YOUR discretion. As they are under 18, they cannot legally own anything as ownership is part of a contract and they cannot enter into a contract. Iw ouldn't do this for petty things, esp as they will likely retaliate, but it is something to keep in mind. Also, if they prove to be too much or are violent with those in yoru home, you CAN turn them over to foster care - will be a hassle and expensive, but if they hurt people or animals then it is something to think about. Esp if they refuse to change, which is what it sounds like. (((((hugs))))) [/QUOTE]
