[QUOTE="keista, post: 456859, member: 11965"] Welcome to the board! WOW Is you mom in counseling? Has she sought help in parenting a difficult child (difficult child)? Either now or with your sister? I am in no way saying that what your mom is doing wrong, after all, you seem to have turned out great, but she might have to explore different parenting techniques. Traditional parenting just does not work with all kids. Since your niece seems to be a carbon copy of her mother, it would certainly be worth a concerted effort on your mother's part to try and shake things up and try to do things differently. I would read that no contact order VERY carefully because FB is contact. You might not be able to do anything about your brother's girlfriend, but as far as 'mom' is concerned, no contact means no contact. If the order allows supervised contact, then FB is still UN-supervised, so should not be allowed. Yeah, so, FB allows 13 y/o to have accounts. FB does not run your mom's house. Her rules trump all outside rules. See parenting comments above. Internet access is still a privilege and not required to be provided to children. I'm so glad she's on birth control. If her friend is having sex already, she's probably not far behind. You didn't say why your own father was absent. If it's because he had "issues" as well, then your niece is the second generation in the "negative gene pool" and chances are very good that she will pass on similar traits to her children, and so the legacy goes on. A good book recommendation for your mom would be [U]The Explosive Child[/U] by Ross Green. It might give her many insights and parenting tips for a difficult child. Welcome again. You've found a great place for support, insights, and guidance. (you might want to let your mom know about us) [/QUOTE]
