[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 547510, member: 47"] My eldest had always gone to a private school well out of the neighborhood I was living in and when she was home, her life was filled with activities that did not include any of the neighborhood kids. When I had the two boys, I pulled her out and put her in the local school - big mistake :( She was giving me a run for my money - the day she came home and announced she was moving to El Salvador with her boyfriend, well, she found herself on a plane the next day to my mother and stayed there for 6 months until I found a place to move to-45 miles away from where we were living. It more or less did the trick and she got her act together But when difficult child became of age, it didn't matter we were living in a upper middle class neighborhood with no crime to speak of, and very family oriented. He managed to find like minded difficult child's and problems started. And these were boys he had known since kindergarden - there were about 8 of them, all in trouble seems like all of the time-straight thru highschool. I wasn't about to move again - where would I even move to anyway :( Fast forward to today, they are still all friends. No one really has been in much trouble, and they all work at the same place, in an office, at a business started by one of them. They all seem to be doing well - still a bunch of pot heads and they all drink too much but are light years away from their early teen years. So while the move to a different area helped the eldest difficult child, it really had no bearing on the youngest. Marcie [/QUOTE]
