[QUOTE="daralex, post: 122762, member: 4467"] difficult child goes ahead and does something insane! She lost her phone and had been using mine at night until replacement can be obtained (whole nother story in and of itself) I get a call at 2am from difficult child that tells me to come pick her up from a location 3 miles from home.( I could have sworn she was in her room!!!!) I see flashing lights up ahead in the distance and call to ask her if she's nearby - of course she is - right where the police are too!!!!!! I get no info from the cops except who she was with and that the other kids vandalized a sign but that she was "not involved" and I could take her home. She was half dressed (shorts and a t-shirt - yes we're in SC but still chilly here at the moment) We were doing so great the past 2 weeks or so and now it's like starting from scratch!!! I did not yell - to my surprise I said I had to absorb the experience before I said anything and was glad she called me and that I would pick her up anywhere no matter what at any time (mind you also if they said she had done anything I would have told them to keep her!!). Needless to say she is without phone now and I will have to "punish" her for her actions. I am so ******!!!!!!!!!!!! which I didn't convey to her at the moment as to not cause another blowout. So what do I do now? Am I supposed to bolt the door shut when I go to bed? Sleep on the couch so she can't get past the fornt door?
