[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 572823, member: 14557"] Try not to treat this as a battle she won. Treat it as an voluntary compromise you and her dad made in parenting her and giving her best chances to grow up well. Situation in your home was difficult, she wasn't following house rules and made a mess out of her life. 'Fortunately' her grandparents were 'kind enough' to help and give her a new chance to sort things out and have a fresh start. You and her dad support that and hope she will take an advantage of this chance and feel this is the best solution for her and rest of your family and helps to mend relationships between you, your easy child and her. That is your story. Stick with it. It's not a battle she won. It's your parenting choice. Now, because of that, there of course is no battle between you and her to continue. No reason to behave like there was. So of course she is welcomed to visit you and you are happy to have her. Of course she has to follow your rules at your house or there will be consequences (whatever you can force) but you are not denying her to come. I know you are not feeling like that, but I think it is the best attitude you can take. Not to allow this to be a battle she won and let her smirk you behind your parents backs, but turn the tables and let her kno this was your choice and you are still on the driver's seat. [/QUOTE]
