DD is 14. Has started (amongst other things), playing with naked flames in the house. Because it's fun she says. Can no longer leave her in the house alone as she was doing it while I was out, but now is doing it under our noses in her bedroom.
She has stolen matches (from a youth club) and played with them in her room, and last night put some material in her hair straighteners then purposely left it while she showered. The smell gave her away (again), and I had to threaten the loss of her phone to get her to point us to what she'd done. The smell was horrendous, and the material had started to smoke while she was still in the shower.
She is saying that there is no point in me keeping on punishing her for it, because she will only do something worse next time. OMG!
How can I deal with this, I am not thinking rationally at the moment....
