So dsd has now lived with us for 3 months and over all its been good, but, she is a teenager and there has been drama. Its a bit of a jump start going from 1.5/3.5/5.5 to a 15.5 year old!
She has had her Ipod and cell phone taken away for 3 weeks of grounding, but it doesn't seem like much in the way of grounding when you consider she still used the computer (my computer since she's never gotten around to buying her WIFI USB thingy) and she's currently on the regular phone with a boy plus she goes over to her grandparents (mom's parents) tomorrow night and they're taking her to get her Christmas shopping done. She was grounded for 1 week for going to a dance without permission, 2nd week for being late for school again (23rd time! and for most of those times we had dropped her off in lots of time!) and a 3rd week for letting and being with her friend smoking pot in her mother's basement.
Its frustrating that her mom let her stay over at her house for 2 nights though she knew she wasn't suppose to go to the dance, dh didn't stop her from leaving when she came home to get a change of clothes before going back to her moms and she gets this attitude like she's entitled to go Christmas shopping with her grandparents, grounding or not. I think dh was letting her go anyway, I probably wouldn't have to be honest and too bad for her grandparents.
Just getting frustrated with it. Overall dsd is a good kid, but the lates and some other things have me concerned that she's going to mess up highschool, says the lady who messed up and wishes she had gone on to Uni or college!
Anyway, thats my rant. Thanks if you made it this far!
