[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 697102, member: 805"] Tough call - on one hand, I think KSM's idea of an ultimatum is a good one. But I suspect you may have gone that route in the past. Having her friends at the house is a good one, but it's so difficult to know exactly who they are hanging with if they don't want you to know. Then agin, having her go to grandma's could go either way. She could, after the initial "shock value" of a smaller school with more rules and less kids, settle. But it could also bring out the rebel factor and her feelings of "mom and dad didn't want me"... I totally get your sentiment of good or bad we raise her. Does she have a psychiatrist or therapist? I might present the scenario to him/her and get their thoughts. You are probably running on limited time to make the choice I imagine with school beginning soon depending on where you are in the country (we don't start until after Labor Day around here). I say you and your husband think it over a little more -- make the pros and cons list...I know you can't anticipate everything. At some point, your daughter does deserve to be in the loop to a certain degree. I vote for mulling it over a bit since it's so new and then follow your gut - it usually doesn't lead you astray.
