Right DD 13 is a big handful, have posted about her behaviour on parenting!
Well over the summer holidays she got into alot of trouble, stealing, going missing being the main problems.
The stealing was a phone from one of her friends, her friend got into trouble for "losing" her phone. Then when DD went missing and we were searching her room for any clues of where she could be we found 3 phones in here room, none of them hers (she had hers taken off her a while ago because she was giving her number out to strangers on FB!) Anyway we find out that the phones belong to friends. One of the phones she used and rang up a £276 bill. Luckily the friends phone was a contract phone on her parents business and they had a very good tariff and it meant that once they had all their discount and free minutes etc the bill actually came down to £70. We paid this to the parents obviously.
Well we gave DD a change to repay this money by doing house hold chores, which she hasn't done and point blank refuses to do. So me and DP have decided and have told DD that we will be taking the money off of her Christmas allowance, which means she will only be getting £50 from us for her Christmas present. We aren't going to buy her anything we are just going to give her the money in a card.
I feel soooooo bad about this though, AIBU to do this? should we be getting her the Ipod nano that she wants or should we stick to our guns?
