@veronicajohn I'd say pick your battles. Not everyone's going to want to do the same thing at the same time. This year maybe she's just not interested in it. I'd let it go.

@lakatide Don't kick her out. Get her UMB birth control, buy her some condoms, put an alarm on the door and windows so you will know if someone's coming in and out in the night. This is your child, do not throw her out, you will regret it.

@susanpath32 Set his device so that anything over 18 plus is blocked. You have to give him some trust if you're giving him the phone you have to let him give out his number. He's not too young to be giving out his number to friends or girls he likes. He's at the age where he likes girls and it's...

@corydm27 I moved out of 18 because of a terrible home life. I had to move my oldest son out when he was 19 just because he wasn't going to school or working I was just sitting playing video games all day. It hurt my heart so much but I think it was the right thing for him. My youngest is still...

@goodlistener For me I figure until their brains have developed to a point where they can be in charge of making decisions that are going to impact them in the long run then I better be there to catch them if they start going off the rails. Not turning an assignments is going to impact grades...

@ajhnh My daughter will be 16 in August and is on the pill for the same reason.. I allowed her to go on a ski trip with her boyfriend and his family at Christmas but sleeping over in the house I don't think I'm there yet. She actually just asked me if her friend and her friend's boyfriend could...

@naturelove I went here to figure out how my daughter was talking at 1 am. It was Roblox. https://www.familyorbit.com/blog/bypass-parental-controls-on-iphone/ I also have her devices in one profile on the modem so I have her wifi shut off at a certain time.

@proangel I'm 50 with a just turned 15 year old. My other kids are in their late 20s. I miss her wanting to be in the room with me but I'm thankful she still wants to go swimming or shopping or to a movie with me. What does your daughter love? We do manicures or take aqua fitness together. It...

@riser Yes!!! She's literally on the other side of the wall behind the couch I sit on but I feel alone.

@vila Why are people being so rude? This is a father who's asking for help. He's not saying he did everything right along the way and obviously things could have been done differently earlier on in this kid's life but hindsight is 20/20. He's just asking what to do now because he's completely...

@shelbylynn92 First of all, you're a great big sister! Thank you so much for caring so much about your brother. It really sounds like he's been through a lot and he's not dealing with his emotions or his trauma very well. Is there any way you could get him into therapy or get him a mentor of...

@scottwilson So we just sat down last night at dinner and had a conversation/agreement. She doesn't think it's fair that I have her phone and the modem set to shut off at 11:00 on school nights. She thinks that because she's 15½ she should be able full access to her phone. I reminded her why I...

@scottwilson I might also just suggest that you get some of his input when making up the contract. That will make him feel like he has some control which is important at that age. I just had to do a contract with my daughter regarding School attendance so she has very clear understanding of what...
