[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 714258, member: 4040"] Have you considered cutting the data plan and the texting program from her phone? Confiscating all electronics until you see a positive change? Is she on any medications at this time? Any "carrot" you could dangle to influence change? Our "carrot" was her truck. If she was not medication compliant or her grades fell below C, she lost her keys. For most of the stuff, I used logical consequences. Tore her bedroom door off the hinges? No door. Throw your packed lunch in the trash before leaving the yard? Go hungry. Throw a fit and call Mom bad names when Mom had oh so kindly agreed to drive you to school? Find yourself tossed out three blocks from home, which means you have two miles to go. Good luck. This job is not for the faint of heart, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. [/QUOTE]
