[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 678590, member: 11832"] School Teacher, my son is younger, but he did the same thing by running up purchases on my credit card. It feels horrible to have your child deliberately steal money. I almost reported the theft to the police. It is theft, you know. I'm not telling you to turn in your daughter. I used the threat of police action as leverage to get Ferb to do the right thing. He is now repaying his debt to me in its entirety. Every paycheck he earns goes to me. We keep a record of how much he has repaid. I'm holding him accountable for his choices - a long string of selfish decisions. Who pays for your daughter's cell phone which you think she was using when she had the car accidents? I think if you cause damage to a vehicle that you should lose the privilege of the cell phone. Running up your insurance, wrecking your truck, and wasting tuition aren't all those things also indirectly stealing from you? I think you are making the right decision to send her packing. She's kept being irresponsible, because she has always counted on you to "make things right again." It's time for her to woman up and be responsible for her own life. It's time for you to stop rescuing her and allow her to learn some life lessons. Stay strong! I was looking for a little cheerleader to cheer you on. This was as close as I could get. :cutie_pie: [/QUOTE]
