Have you spoken to her dad about her behavior? My daughter talks to her dad frequently and if I'm having a problem with her, I call him up.
TEENAGERS!!!! This is what I have to look forward to in a couple of years. |

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. |

So sorry you are having to deal with this.
 I agree with everyone else...I would talk to her dad and hope that yall can work out a solution that is best for your daughter. Good luck and let us know what happens.

Welcome, nice to have you! Sorry you have to deal with this, teen agers are not the easiest little people to live with at times, and difficult to understand them.
As you said, she probably thinks the grass is greener on the other side, talk to her dad and lets hope you can solve this. Please keep us posted Good luck!!

We Talked
I talked with her Dad this morning. He has spoken with her and basically told her that things would not be any different at his house. That she would have rules and restrictions when rules are broken.
He really is a good dad and supportive and backs me up. I think she said that because she was mad at me and knew it would hurt my feelings. Thanks for letting me vent.

That's what we're here for...to support, offer ideas and basically just to listen. It's wonderful that your ex is so supporting of you also. It benefits the kids beyond belief to know their parents (together or not) are united in doing what is best for them.
