[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 557342, member: 6546"] Hello and Welcome! First question that comes to mind: Why won't Dad take her in? That's gotta make her feel rejected...and rejection is usually fuel for the fire for these kids....so that's not helping. Second question: What (specifically) is wrong with her bedroom when you say "disgusting" ? Food residue? Insects? Rotting garbage? (As you can already tell - we Warrior Moms here on the Board have seen it all) When it comes to clean bedrooms - messy, cluttered, whatever it's their bedroom and probably not worth fighting about....UNTIL it begins to encroach upon the safety and/or environment of the rest of the home. IOW - if her bedroom contains biohazards, or is stinking up the rest of the house....YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AS THE PARENT AND HOMEOWNER to go in and dispose of anything that needs disposing. That is your right under the law in most states. Minors own nothing (even if they "bought it with their own money") and parents are allowed to exercise control over a minor's property if they see fit. [/QUOTE]
