Well, if one of my kids took off and I didn't know their whereabouts I'd bring the cops into the picture. Wouldn't matter if they were bio or step. Plus I'd hunt em down, and when I found them they'd have wished the cops had found them first.
easy child got mouthy with me once. Was gonna go off to so and so's house whether I liked it or not, yadda yadda. I said go ahead. And when I drag you out by your ear in front of all of your friends we'll see who's humilliated. Believe me, if you get the right squeeze and twist on a teen ear they WILL come right along. :wink:
Mine knew I'd do it. They never tried. lol
But like midwest mom, I also had the rep of being THE meanest Mom around. lol
If you and husband can't get on the same page with this, DON'T take her. It will be an utter disaster all the way around.
