[QUOTE="mom_in_training, post: 46859, member: 2727"] "If it were truly a move forward (school or something like that), it would feel like the child was spreading his/her wings. Moving from one house to another house is a lateral move. There is no forward progress." I agree with BBK. In my case my difficult child was living on the streets for two months. (Her choice) She had no place to go and none of her friends offered up anything as far as housing or anything. It was a good thing though considering that I don't think enabling a bad situation is a good thing anyway. She was also bursting out of the seams wanting to escape Moms house, Moms rules.... thinking that she could have it better anywhere else because she wanted to make her own rules but landed on the streets. At this point I think that she has realized that the comforts of being in Moms home are really not that bad and is out to get the scoop as I type on a job that she might be starting soon. Last week she was getting antsy and I told her straight up that if she takes off one more time to go visit with her friends that she hung out with when she was on the streets that she will not be welcomed back ever and that I would give up the horses as well. She was thinking that it was all ok to go visit with her buddys and be on the streets for 3-5 days and just come home at her convenience. Hmmm, Crazy for her to think that its ok to live on the streets part time but yet come back home whenever she feels like it. Not going to happen!!!! I am not here for her convenience. [/QUOTE]
