[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 368476"] Yes I agree. In my experience if you have not followed through before the difficult child will not believe you will follow through this time. I know my son did not think I would follow through when he told us he would not leave the house. My suggestion if you think you really are going to have to make her leave, is to go talk to the police at the PD ahead of time. In our case I went and met with an officer and arranged a time for them to show up because I knew if I called them and my son heard me he would take off. The police deal with parent/late teen or young adult issues all the time. You will definitely not be the first case like this they have dealt with. Ask their advice. I think it is easier if you go talk to them on your own, rather than trying to explain what is going on in the heat of the moment after calling 911. At least that was my experience. But yeah have a plan in place for when the week is up. Also don't keep reminding her of the deadline. She heard you the first time. She may choose to ignore you but that doesn't mean she needs another warning. And I am new here so you may have done all this already and I am just not up to speed...so forgive me if I speak out of turn. [/QUOTE]
