HELL YES!!Anybody else counting down the days til back to school?
Aww I hope today goes well for themMy teenager is off to college for the first time today . They are a bit nervous cos it's all new to them .
I didn't want to say anything to them , but they have nicer clothes They could wear instead of the scruffy ones they've put on .
I'm also not sure how much they'll have to pay for bus fare as the under 21 special price has just changed and the bus drivers probably just end up charging adult fare.
Thank you . College is such a big change .Aww I hope today goes well for them
It doesn't address the root behaviour but at least take her phone away overnight.I’m at my whits end, just had a phone call from the school to say another parent has called up concerned about her daughter’s behaviour and while checking her phone is now concerned about my daughter. She’s Up sending messages until all hours of the night, screen shotting pornographic images off websites and sending them, there was also a video over the weekend of my daughter smoking (unsure if it was a vape or an actual cigarette) but she’s out of control. Feel like I can’t take her phone, as I work full time and she’s responsible for getting herself to and from school (I don’t get home until after 6) feel like I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place and it’s making me so unhappy. I’m fed up of her attitude, her entitlement, her behaviour - everything is determined about how she feels and I’m sick of walking on eggshells because of her. If anyone could help or offer an advi ce I’d much appreciate it
It isn't your job to provide alternative entertainment during a punishment. If she has access to a shelf full of books or a library card then she's perfectly capable of finding a book herself. Alternatively she can come up with something she'd like to do. It's healthy for kids to be bored sometimes and far too easy for technology to be a solution.My daughter currently has no technology and is grounded. What does everyone’s 12 year olds do to entertain themselves? Does anyone have any suggestions of books to read? Activities - I’m sick of hearing I’m bored and it’s only been 36 hours
Get her an old retro phone that doesn’t have access to the internet, think they do new versions of the old Nokias.I’m at my whits end, just had a phone call from the school to say another parent has called up concerned about her daughter’s behaviour and while checking her phone is now concerned about my daughter.
