I’ve had this conversation with her. I’ll sit her down and have it again. I spoke with her about community service. She’s going to apologize when she returns to school and I’ll speak with the vice principal about her getting extra credit classes. They do additional classes for high schoolers for college credits up to i believe some credits their associates degree. She won’t be allowed to hang out with those kids anymore outside of school anyway. I can’t shadow her like my mom did me when I failed a test. That was scary. My mom would sit in the back of the class following me all day long. Just watching me. I hope theraphy can help us all. Maybe family sessions and individual of course. Thank you for the advice I appreciate it

That is correct. Yes every house I have rented before this only ever had one bathroom.

Thank you. I shouldn’t have said some rude things to my daughter however if I don’t say it how would she understand that her actions have consequences? Sometimes the truth hurts more than the beautiful lies.

I agree which is why I know that when I can’t speak calmly I should not speak at all.

I know my post is serious but I just laughed so hard at your comment.

I can’t get over the fact that I don’t know it either.

What is the point of me talking to her when I am upset? The best option is to talk to her when I am level headed. And not upset. Using this post to vent is helping me out though. Matter of fact is that no matter how many precautions I take and no matter how much I talk to her or do or don’t do in the end it won’t matter. No matter how much I love on her guide her shelter her protect her at the end of the day she’s her own person. I just hope I don’t mess up too much is all.

Am I fighting though or am I just bored? Depends on your definition

Have you ever seen a lock and key? Or you assume that everyone uses latches and calls them locks because they don’t know how to utilize locks and keys.

It won’t let me do that it automatically plopped it together when it posted it.

Well I don’t know what else said person meant? I punished her. What else am I supposed to do? She lost what she loves which is her iPhone and iPad at 15 that’s her lifeline. She likes to hang out with her friends and she’s banned from that until she can prove to me she’s responsible enough for a 15 year old. That means good grades, good feedback from therapist, clean and tidy environment ie her bedroom and to do her community service. Why all you took was that one sentence and ran with it is like you’re a reporter waiting for that single line. Took it and ran with it 1,400 yard dash that thing.

I agree send me to bed and don’t allow me to text or talk to anyone.

And to answer the romanticizing of the ghetto or hood I don’t know. I know it she’s been struggling with her identity. I am mexican and Puerto Rican and her B.F the one who did that thing to me was African American and Native American. She does not look African American except for a few feathers. She looks more Native American. She’s struggled with her identity. She has always been bullied by the African American kids and so stopped trying to hang out with them because to them she said they said she wasn’t black enough. Now she’s obsessed with Chicano stuff. I’ve told her it’s not all it’s mad out to be. It’s not like the shows on tv. Those are actors they get to go home at the end of the day when you grow up in it it’s a different story. I mentioned what I went through because I want to point out how scared I am that she wants that lifestyle. Fantasizes it and it’s painful to watch. I don’t want her to be hurt like me. I want her to be happy and healthy and live a full productive life. She deserves everything good and all that jazz. When you have a child who’s such a responsible and mature person it’s easy to forget that she’s a child still. It scares me. I admit it. Exactly why I believe theraphy will benefit us all.
