DD is driving me mad. I love her to bits and some of the time she is funny, mature, lovely to her DB and just lovely to be around.
But recently she has started going out with different boys and often coming home late. The other night it was 12:30. I obviously couldn't sleep even though she did text me until she got home. I don't like the fact she is seeing different boys and then coming home late. I have talked to her but I might as well be banging my head against a brick wall. I'm sure I should put a curfew in place but what if she doesn't follow it? Do you still ground 16 year olds?
She also has no direction. She hates the course she's on (it's only a year course) but doesn't know what she wants to do. She's supposed to be getting a part-time job but doesn't apply for anything.
She's 16 so young but I'm actually really concerned about how she's behaving but more worried about her lack of direction. I've tried getting her older cousin to talk to her. I've spoken to her. She has spoken to college carers support but she just seems to have no interest.
I don't want to push her too hard as she does self harm at times but I don't want her to end up in a dead end job or getting hurt in a relationship.
Anyone going through the same thing? Any advice?
