[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 413848, member: 6546"] Exhausted-- (((hugs))) I'm sorry... I do think this is pretty typical of a lot of our kids. They view us as trying to "change who they are" instead of trying to encourage them to make better choices. And I do think it's very natural to feel like showing them that they really [I]don't[/I] know everything by letting them get themselves into trouble. So here's the thing: You say you [I]*know*[/I] that she is going to sneak and contact this boy no matter what. Well then, if that's the case....what magical words do you think you will use to remind her of the rules that will make any difference? --sigh-- As parents, we all want the best for our kids. I don't know why they try so hard to stop us from getting it for them... [/QUOTE]
