[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 368795, member: 6546"] Lost-- I am not giving you a hard time, here... But as the parents--you must NOT enage in a battle of wills...as much as you must draw your line in the sand. To share with you: In our home we have several rules which WILL result in a call to the police 1) NO Violence! (This means no putting your hands on anyone at any time for any reason. This rule probably not be too big a deal in your home as it sounds like SD does not have any siblings she is beating on.) 2) NO threats! (Verbal, written "just joking"--it doesn't matter...we do not threaten people in this household.) 3) NO Stealing 4) NO leaving without permission (whether from home, school, neighbors house....if we don't know exactly where difficult child is--we make a report) As for other things? It's like I mentioned in my other post--we give her a little. If she cannot handle it--we take it away. Remember--you do NOT owe your SD a computer, a cell phone, designer clothes or a social life. If she cannot be bothered following your household rules, it should be no skin off your nose that she cannot use the interent, or call a friend or whatever. You cannot live in constant fear of your SD "upping the ante" every time she doesn't like something. And she will if it works... Next time, she will run farther....stay away longer....meet up with unsavory people...etc etc etc You must decide that is NOT OK--and you must stick to your guns! [/QUOTE]
