[QUOTE="busywend, post: 74026, member: 391"] in my humble opinion, going to homecoming with her really does drive home that she has proven herself irresponsible enough that she herself still needs supervision. I am betting she will not go if you are going with her. My difficult child did this with her little brother. She brought him (5) to the movies (mind you he is a difficult child himself and very active!). Little did her stepmom know she was meeting several friends there as well. They all sat together. She got up to get something or see someone in the lobby while the movie was playing and left him there with her other friends. Friends he had never met before. I believe the punishment was to never be able to take him anywhere alone again. My difficult child was 15 at the time and really figured since her friends were with him she did nothing wrong. She could not process what could have happened to them due to her own selfishness. In other words the soda and candy mattered more to her than the safety of your children. This is really what you need to find a way to make her understand. And the seriously messed up thought that it truly is. [/QUOTE]
