[QUOTE="recovering doormat, post: 208158, member: 5941"] Great idea and comments, moms. I think the behaviorist was brainstorming when she came up with-clothes, because she can't run around nekkid, but I can take away her expensive Abercrombie tops, perfume, eye pencil, brand new hair straightener I just bought her. Through some brutally honest talks and a visit to the doctor, I have come to realize that she isn't sexually involved with boys but she likes their attention and has a lot of admirers amongst the seventh grade boys at her school. Fortunately, no older ones have presented themselves, but I expect that to happen at some point. I had left out a detail regarding her school refusal that might explain why I was so hell-bent on her going: she had asked me Wednesday if she could skip school Friday to prepare for Halloween. I said no, and she attempted to drag me into a fight for over an hour. The next day she claimed to be ill with stomach cramps and worse, and I fell for it. She spent the day at home, tidying up her room and the downstairs. She promised to go to school today. When we got up this morning she said she couldn't go to school because she was worried that her science project wasn't good enough. I asked her why she didn't ask for help and she said I was too busy (bogus, I'm home full time and she has asked me for help with-homework in the past). I suggested that she could have asked her dad, older sister, friend, teacher, whatever, but she had an excuse for each one. I attempted to take her to school but she got out of the car and instead of walking into the building she started walking in the direction of our home. At that point I was so angry from her fresh mouth and lack of cooperation (I'm still in my p.j.s, in the car, teeth unbrushed, hair uncombed, not a pretty sight) that I just drove home without her. She had no jacket on and it was 47 degrees and it had to be two mile to our door, but she is one stubborn cookie. She came home and berated me for being a b$#&( and that I had changed a lot (i.e.: I'm being stricter and more consistent, less of a pushover) too quickly. What I think she means is that I really blasted her circuits by disengaging. Unfortunately, it will get worse, and that's where I have to be on my game so I don't undermine myself. Well, no one said it would be easy, did they? [/QUOTE]
