It all started time she hit HS,and met this boy whom is very disrepectful to me by calling my home from morning to 5AM non-stop waking me up. To her calling me names when I tells her that she's not allowed to have contact with this boy. She has forged my name to ride the bus to his home after school as told by the bus driver, to running up my phone bill to $1,000 calling her so called boyfriends, friend behind his back, which this no good boy never called her back once, still yet I'm stuck with high phone bill.I just can't give up now because I have two other kids to think about but she is heading on her way out the door, as soon as I plan where to place her.

My heart goes out to you. This is the second post I've read from you about your daughter being disrespectful to you. I wish I had tons of wisdom to pass on to you. As far as the phone bill goes, maybe your daughter should get a part time job and pay the bill. But, in the mean time, removing the phone from the house during the day will solve the problem of her calling any more long distance numbers. Just take the phone with you before you go to work. As for the boy, I think I would politely ask him to call between the hours of _ and _ (whatever hours you want for your house). Hang in there, showme, I agree with you that you can't give up now with two more kids in addition to her. Might do some good to have her talk to some kids her age that have been in trouble and are trying to straighten their lives out?? She may really "get" what they're saying since they're her age.

haven't been a member too long but i would like to give you a small piece of information i just know would help and its free. I'm not being paid for this. In my country as i'm sure in yours its possible for the phone system to put a block on so without a proper code you cannot make a long distance call. All so they have call blocking which after 1 call you can dial a special 4 digit number right away depending on who your service is and they can never use that phone again to wake you up. Think that one would cost you about a buck too do if i remember correctly. the long distance block is about $40.00. went through this myself with the 900 numbers came out for wrestling many years back hope this is some help for you.sorry but I belive you will have to pay for what shes added before. If its a cell phone she's used you could put your own code on. Land lines are what i have said in the begining. Good Luck.

The first thing I would do is lay down the law. If you have to hire a babysitter, do it. If you have to make sure no long distance phone calls can be made on your phone, do it. You are required to provide her with food, shelter and clothing. You are not required to provide her with a tv, gameboy, stereo or the freedom to do whatever she wants for that matter. Pull everything that runs on electricity or batteries and be on her tail every minute of the day until she changes her attitude. If she has too much time on her hands, create a list of chores that need to be done before she is allowed to leave the house and stand over her shoulder while she does them. I would literally quit my job and homeschool my child if necessary to stop this kind of behavior. The bad part is you may have to give up your free time-all of it, for a while. It will be worth it in the long run. Don't let her take advantage of you. If she creates a bill she needs to earn the money to pay it off.

she is reacting so due to her age and influence of that boy. do not get disheartened. She still loves you. I have found from experience that you can give birth to your children but you can not live theuir life for them and niether can you write their destiny for them. She will one day regret what she is doing.I hope regret comes sooner for her.You can try sitting down with her and asking her what she wants to do with her life.Do nit argue just listen and keep listening withoutany opinions or comments agreeing with everything let her blabber on you will eventually reach the root of the problem. she is seeking escape from the house for some reasons,she has not felt loved or wanted by you for a very long time. find a way to show that by listening to her.There are some other problems too which you have not mentioned.Please find a solution by talking to your daughter seek counselling I think both of you need it.

I agree she should hopefully get it out of her system and hopefully for you soon. All you can do is be there for her when this guy up and leaves because i've seen his type. Is her dad in the picture? If not think about getting another male you trust to talk to her about how no man is worth hurting your family. really hope things get better for you.

I too was a teen who misbehaved. My problem was lying. I was to interested with my social life then anything else and I would lie to my parents about school all the time. Your daughter loves you no matter what she says. And she will come to realize this over time. I don't like the comments whip her and beat her. That's not a smart thing to do with a teenager who knows she can then go to the police. Not smart. I hope things get better for you.
