[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 533218, member: 3710"] Hello from another Chicagoland friend! When my difficult child turned 18 last August he started saying the exact same things that your daughter is telling you now. He was so proud that he was an adult at 18 years of age, and he felt that he did not have to tell us where he was going, who he was with, when he would be home, etc. Of course he also did not have a job and he did not have a problem asking us for money all the time. My h and I did the same thing that you are doing now, stopping his cell phone and car use when he was acting like a jerk just because he was now 18. You and your h are doing the right thing by cutting off her cell phone. Your home and your rules, and your difficult child has to understand that fact. Take care of yourself, because these difficult child's can cause a lot of stress for all of us. I hope that you will get a chance to do something fun this week-end, like watch the Crosstown Classic, Cubs vs Sox! HUGS... [/QUOTE]
