I'm Upset

[Janet]

Maybe if you and her dad talk about it, you can come up with a time that she can go stay with him for awhile, say like age 17. That way when she throws it in your face you can tell her that it won't happen until such and such a time. Does she go stay with him during the summer or school breaks? Maybe that would be a good trial run.

My friend did it that way and after her daughter got through the "attitude" stage she really didn't want to live with her dad. My friend also told her that if and when she went to live with her dad...she could only take her clothes, nothing else. Well, when dad didn't have the extra money to buy all the things teens want, living with Mom looked pretty darn good.
