[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 511019, member: 3907"] DF, If you're determined to keep difficult child from getting up to no good, then it seems like the only way is to keep her under 24/7 supervision. When difficult child was on house arrest for a year, about 5 years ago, husband and I had to do this. We were his sureties, so he had to be under direct eye contact at all times when he was outside the house. This meant that husband or I had to take him with us everywhere. There were several days when I had to take difficult child to work with me -- including sitting in on meetings -- because he had to be within my sight. Frankly this was WAY harder on husband and me than it was on difficult child. But it was a requirement. So...if difficult child wants to meet with her friend, he has to come over to your house and sit under your watchful eye. If you need to go out, difficult child has to come with you. If difficult child wants to go out, you have to go with her. It will get old in a hurry. The other possibility is to leave her to it, but report her every time she does something that can endanger you, your son or your husband -- including property, and things for which you can be held liable. Not sure if either of these is a viable option, but there the only 2 I can think of. [/QUOTE]
