DD16 in trouble for lying again ,is refusing to come on holiday(To Florida!)has unpacked her suitcase,we leave on Friday.
She cannot be left here,her older brothers would not cope with her plus the money we would waste!
Part of me is going to drag her kicking and screaming and the other part wants her nowhere near me.She has spoilt everything for everyone else,DD 9 is getting distressed at all that is going on around her.We have been so looking forward to this dream holiday and it is all spoilt now.
She has been grounded(again) but this does not seem to bother her,I cant stop pocket money as she only gets £10 per month,she has no job.
This time the lies are school related,got her BF to phone in sick for her so she could go shopping with her friends and not go in and resit a final module exam,I took her in myself today and she failed it again,next attempt tomorrow.I was not aware that she had a test as she told me she had passed all 8 modules,school phoned yesterday to let me know this.She is finished at school and due to start college in Sept.
She does not care one bit about hurting me by all her lies(there are plenty more)we had a good talk the last time there was a problem and everything was forgiven (not Forgotten).
Help.
