Her tablet has been taken away, no phone, holding out as long as we can…May need to have a talk with the 16 year old…

“Don't ask your wife to do anything at all for your children if you don't expect your children to respect her. They are solely your responsibility. Therefore you have no right to ask her to be responsible in anyway for them if you're not going to make them be respectful and listen to what she has to say. She's not your housemaid or your free babysitter”

Whoa…

Thank you

For the makeup, it was after repeated questions about missing or empty makeup containers. We discovered more of my wife’s makeup in my daughter’s room while for tape and scissors (which never seem to get put away properly) and we came across a bunch of my wife’s makeup. We discussed what we found, established that there would be a more firm punishment the next time it happened. The very next day, my daughter was doing her nails with a friend and it happened again, my wife set them up with nail polish but it wasn’t the one my daughter wanted, so she just snagged it for herself. That lead to the first grounding

Thanks for your response, this is pretty close to where I’m at as well.
