[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 457356, member: 8831"] i'm with chaos above up there. [B]she's 12. [/B] with, 1. a dysfunctional mom and upheaval to grandparents. 2. starting jr. high. 3. starting school in general after a long, no academic required, no alarm clocks needed summer. 4. expected to know politeness/manners/life lessons that she quite possibly didnt learn prior to the move 5. entering/in puberty. 6. emerging independence. 7 emerging knowledge that all adults are ijiots. 8. emerging knowledge that her friends know [I]everything[/I] 9. a girl. and 10. she's 12. i think you should let your mom handle it how she sees fit. she shouldnt tolerate disrespect, but it sounds like she's got enough common sense to address the issue and handles it appropriately. (i too did NOT know the person gets a "reactivate" notice for facebook if you cancel it, ROFLMAO--thats pretty hilarous, and i doubt most parents would realize it either). but she'll need to pick her battles--your Niece sounds pretty typical of any 12 year old girl--medications or not, adhd/odd or not. ps: tell your mom to get a copy of the school dress code--so when Niece convinces her of the [I]need[/I] for cami's and short-shorts and lipstick and mascara she can just point to it and let the school take that fall!
