Help Needed!
My 13 year old daughter is being an absolute nightmare, not at school but at home, school gave her a glowing report which shows to me, she isnt a disrespectful person, she is just behaving like that at home.
I’ve recently found out she had been vaping. She was grounded for this, shown her pictures etc of what it can do to you but I am sure she is still doing it when she’s with her friends, although I have no proof.
Its now escalated to the point of swearing. Today she has told me to piss off, said she is sick of living in this f@ck!n house. She also stated if I ever laid a hand on her she would slap me back (I’ve never used physical discipline as a punishment).
I’m at the end of my tether, I feel physically and mentally unwell. She doesn’t seem to care I’ve even cried to her asking what’s the matter with her. I dont know what to do anymore 😢
I've received a phonecall tonight from my DD friends mother who found a vape in her daughters bag, DD friend said it was both hers and my daughters.
She is now grounded and no phone. I keep reading that you shouldn't ground them or take away their phones as its their line of communication but what else can you do?
Her parents evening was fantastic and teachers said she can go far but at home she is getting out of control.
Is grounding her and no phone unreasonable for swearing at me and vaping?
