[QUOTE="MommaK, post: 697593, member: 20354"] She does not have a phone, it was taken away 2 weeks after she got it back. She has a school provided mac book that she is only allowed to use at school and at home with direct supervision, and it's taken after she finishes homework and hidden in my bedroom. She started sneaking it after I went to sleep. She has been told if she does it again then it's returned to the school and she does her work by paper and pencil. She is not allowed to hang out with friends(tested positive for smoking weed with the friends) and was told if she sneaks out or leaves the house without permission (she has done it before and planned to do it recently but was caught) other than to go to school she will be reported as a run away and I will place her on probation with the youth courts as a defiant teen. She tested positive for weed 3 weeks ago and was told if she is found with drugs or fails another test I will report her to the youth courts and have her put on probation. She has since tested negative and is randomly tested in her therapy program. Not sure what her therapist will do when he finds out she got mad this weekend because she got caught sneaking her laptop after her grandmother collected it at 10 (curfew for laptop use). New rules (listed above)put into affect starting tonight on the laptop. Last year we allowed natural consequences with grades she squeaked by in 2 classes and passed by only a couple points. She is now currently failing 2 classes and school just started on the 4th. Again I'm letting natural consequences take over there because if she fails she is kicked off her softball team. I swear she is so defiant I could say jump and she would dig a hole so deep she couldn't get out just to prove she wasn't going to do what I told her to. I already try to not go to sleep before her just to be sure she doesn't do anything she shouldn't after I go to sleep. This is all beginning to cause problems between my husband and me. She had quit taking her medications and we discovered that on her last drug test a week ago. Now I watch her take them and check her mouth(under very loud protest) to be sure she swallowed them. Tonight when told about being reported if she leaves without permission she just had that smirk and yea right whatever look on her face. I'm not going to protect her from the consequences she has been warned about if she tries to call my bluff on this. I am exhausted! [/QUOTE]
