14 , she doesn't call the shots. What would she be doing at home if you didn't go away?

Don't let her, she is only 14, she can go with you and sit her in a corner where she can scowl and listen to her mp3 player.

She will just be home with me and ds doing nothing. Im not letting her call the shots just not quite sure how im supposed to get her there. Ive told her were going and she just said you cant make me.

You just take her. Don't discuss it further. When it comes to the time she will go with you with a monk on.

Take the fuses out so there is no electricity or heating, make sure there is no food and then promise to withold all monies until she is old enough to earn her own.

Oooh at 14 they are still draggable by hair

Make your plans, tell her she's going - end of discussion. YOU are the parent.
