13, nearly 14yo DD had always been lovely. Easy baby, toddler, delightful, interested, bright child.
Hit 13 and is bored by most things, spends all her time in her room, near constant falling out with friends, lies about her age to try and date older boys, cuts herself, does as little to engage with the family as possible.
I'm fed up of her not turning her phone/laptop off at night and having to wake her up in the morning 3+ times. On Tuesday she started watching a film at 23.50. Getting her to school is constantly making me and younger DD late.
So, after many chances she's been told she needs to hand over her phone/laptop at 10pm.
MASSIVE strop ensued. Apparently I'm a bitch. She walked out, but we live in the middle of nowhere, so was only out 10 mins. Then she phoned her dad to come and get her. He agreed rule with me, said same would happen at its house.
She's text me this morning saying she's staying tonight as well. Then it's his weekend. So I won't see her til Monday.
Do I just let her get on with it? I've no idea what I'm dealing with now
