[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 637749, member: 15473"] First let me say hello and then welcome. As for the teenage friend. You need to learn to walk away. Not just with a teen but with anyone talking to you in that manner. MWM and I are similar on this in that we don't listen to that crap. You either speak with me decently or I leave/hang up. It is your choice to either stand there and take it or realize the idiot yelling at you is an idiot and cut if off. It makes my difficult child furious when I walk away or when i refuse to dig in and fight with her. But it keeps us from saying things we shouldnt. I also agree that it is difficult child's responsibility to get up at a reasonable time. As for difficult child hanging out with the friend I would put a stop to that. I would tell her that after catching her with pot and getting yelled at by her friend who was promoting pot that she was on restriction. You can in some places work with the law and have a contract made between child and court restricting their actions. The parent basically tells the courts what rules they want followed and if the kid bends them the parent reports it. If the judge determines this "friend" is a problem part of the contract can be no contact with said friend. The difficult child can get assigned small tasks/punishments or if things get really really bad removed from the home. Keep in mind that the courts strongly discourage putting kids in foster care so unless they can show that you are beating her or something horrid they don't normally pull the kid. Talk to the local Child Protective Services and see what they offer along that line. [/QUOTE]
