[QUOTE="Pookybear66, post: 206271, member: 5957"] Stella-I'm glad she had a good dance, but I'm sorry she broke a rule and is now grounded. However, was it her things she took outside? Did she actually get them dirty and ruined? I don't know much about your situation so if I'm wrong let me know, but I think that now she is a "teenager" as you say that maybe she needs to have the responsibilty of her own things. If she breaks/ruins something that you bought for her she does not get a new one till SHE can pay for it with her own money. And I don't know if she gets an allowance or money from rellies for holidays, but that could be a long time till she earns enough to buy the item in question. I would've talked to her and asked her about why she took the things out. I'm sure she was excited about the evening and just didn't think about the consequences. I'm sure she already knows your rules. And I'm NOT so sure grounding her for the weekend will help her remember the next time. Best wishes for the next time whatever you decide to do. [/QUOTE]
