Parent rant:

My 17yo is on lockdown. I have raised 6 children, one passed away in infancy, but I have seen it all. I have had a few doozies but let me tell you. Charlotte came home Fri. night and immediately went to bathroom and got sick. First thing I do is ask about drinking or did she take anything. No mom. But she kept getting sick...Anyhow, after a very eventful night dad goes in to clean the bathroom and comes out because a wine opener is sticking out of her back pack. Hmmmm. Now we don't really drink, but we had a bottle of wine that my SIL brought over because it was a gift to her and she never drinks...and it was gone! I was livid. So, I tell her we will talk in the morning. She was grounded. She could have her phone during school hours (I would hate for their to be an emergency and she didn't have it, shit happens these days).

So anyhow, yesterday she asks to go to a friends house, I tell her no, she's grounded. This is her response "I didn't think you were serious, I've never been grounded". Well she's also never stolen from my home, especially alcohol, and proceeded to get drunk. She tried to whine about it but I told her to shush before I took her ipod and her school mac, how hard is a grounding when you have a school laptop, really? So, rant is over, any seasoned parents dealt with this? I had one get caught smoking pot with his bestie in our shed but to be honest, drinking is more serious to me, only because her grandpa was an alcoholic and committed suicide, long before she was born though. Issue is, she lied even after we kindly told her if she had been drinking we wanted to know so we could care for her better and worry about other stuff later. We've also always taught to call for rides etc... our son even called us from a party at 3am once because a girl was passed out and he and his BF took her away from some other guys they said seemed sketchy and we helped them get her home. ughhh

I had a pretty firm rule with my kids: I don't care what you do at home, drink, smoke pot, whatever, but if I caught you doing either and driving your ass was mine. You can't stop it, because they have to have some freedom, but what you can do is educate them, and hope for the best.

What if the big surprise is that there's no surprise?

My husband and I have like $20 in checking. I don't think there will be any big surprises for either of us tomorrow.

Thanks I feel a bit better. She doesn't drive yet, we haven't allowed her cause she is kind of flighty and we don't want her or someone else hurt. Luckily she was walking from her friends a block over.

I can really only answer this by saying some kids just like being difficult and pushing back. Our youngest is 14 and pushes back on EVERYTHING, and it gets old really fast and really leaves you with a sense of "I don't know what to do with you"

Like for example she will not do school work she routinely fails at least 3-4 classes every semester and the ones she passes are barely. When doing chores she will take hours to do a 15 minute task, act like she shouldn't have to do it etc etc. Me and her mom are both basically at the end of our ropes with her. You legit hit a point of "if you don't care then I don't care" punishing her then just becomes punishment for us that kinda thing. Then our son gets grounded for having a bad grade and he's like ''This is not fair"

Kids can really make life difficult if they want, what she has taught me is you can try as much and as hard as you want. Have the best intentions really want to help or change things and at the end of the day if the kid is unwilling to work with you, there is nothing you can do. After years of it you really hit the point of I guess there's not much I can do because grounding and yelling etc etc nothing works it just gives the parents stress as she continues to not care. This kid wanted to drop out of school at 12, I know her future is just very poor looking and I've tried to talk to her about this because she just ignores us, "I'll live you with you forever" is what we get back.

It's really sad honestly.

got pretty lucky with the daughters they all took after their mom who is squeaky clean, the son however took after me totally. He's 24 now, but for the longest time I wasn't sure he was going to see adulthood.

Give her a tour of your local jail. Maybe that'll scare her straight.
