To send DD to boarding school

DD 13 is completely out of control. She has no respect for me or our house. She makes false accusations against me. I’m considering boarding school because she’s throwing her life away with her temper and nasty mouth.

You should post that detail in its own thread, important information for boarding school parents, well done 👏

I seen your other post, about your son. Imagine he read that? Read what you said about him? Teenage years can be difficult but is up to a parent to manage and ask yourself how you got there.

You comments really struck me, you sound like my mother so you will never appreciate the gravity of someone elses experience, as such I will leave it there. I really hope your son and OPs daughter get the love, patients and support they need and deserve.

They get plenty, thanks.

Take care.

Why is she acting in this way? If you look deep you'll find the answer and it will not just be because you told her to clean her room type thing. We really need to know that to be able to answer your question.

Ummmm. I dont this thread is gonna go well. But I will bite first. I think thats a crazy idea. Of course you get pushback at that age, its time to parent, not offload.
Agree. She needs more love, she's pushing you to see how far she can go. You need help not boarding school.

Or she might want more independence and feels trapped.
