I am at my wits end with DD who is extremely selfish and we are unable to control her behaviour. Many of you know that I have posted previous threads on her behaviour and that we have support from SS, CAMHS worker and various other networks in school, but none of this appears to be doing any good. This week DD's BF has now been let out after being grounded since the beginning of Sept after they disappeared for a night, DD has now been going out every evening and whilst we give her a set time to come back in, she constantly takes the piss but turning up 45 mins to an hour late. (I am trying to relax over letting her out at night in the dark but it is hard as I worry over safety) we set the time a 7.00 - 7.15 because I feel that this time is late enough during the week. Last night she went out and told to be home at 9.00 (15 min leeway) but she texted to say 10.00, we replied no and she did not answer, she finally came in at midnight after a long exhaustive texting session where I threatened several time to call the police to report her missing. She came in and was not concerned that she was out so late. Detentions come thick and fast, with her not turning up to attend them, she has now got a Sat detention but she states she is not going. In order to try and bring her back to earth and behave as I have truly had enough of her behaviour we have now stated that she must earn her pocket money by coming in at the set time or she will lose her credit for next weeks pocket money (obviously this would be on a daily basis), she replied don't care. my concern is that she will walk out anyway, but (a) start stealing and (b) have sex for money (god I hope not) I am I right to stop all money, otherwise how can we make her see what she is doing to the family and risking her safety. Do we just let her get on with it, but it is hard and my sanity cannot take this. Should I stop her phone credit but how will she text us with no credit. Any help or advise here would be great. CAMHS worker feels that she might have mild ASD.
