[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 557645, member: 6705"] Interestingly... As you know our daughters have a LOT in common... 2 years ago, the HS had busing. It was a rule that Onyxx ride 3 out of 5 days unless grounded, which made it 5. Friends could drive her the other days. Did we like this? No. Did we try to compromise? Yes. Eventually it came out that she rarely rode the bus at all, had sworn Jett to secrecy (they rode the same bus at the time). We never knew when she would get home. And she never asked permission or told us where she was going before leaving, either, which is why the day everything blew up in early June 2011 I'd thought she was in her room. Fast forward to now - the JVS bus drops her at the HS at 2:30. Up till the last month, husband and I worked till 4:30. HS kids are no longer bused to/from at all. Guess who has walked home (4.5 miles) or waited for 4:50 for a ride from us? Yeah. because she can't find a ride now, more days than she can. I'd tell her that she must be at your workplace by the time you normally leave or she can walk [I]home[/I] - and if she is not there, or home when you arrive, she loses 1 day of whatever - 2nd offense 1 week - 3rd 1 month and/or police... And don't clock-watch and worry, you KNOW she is gonna do what she wants. Re cigarettes... I'm pretty sure Onyxx is smoking again... Just nothing illegal. I give up on that. Just not around the baby.
