OK since we're dishing about ex husbands

My 15-year-old dd and I have been having "issues" for over a month because she was skipping school and her grades were in the toilet.

These are the issues I have been trying to get into her head!
Ugh. Teenagers.
I see NO sense in their theory about grades - seems to me they are just being stupid AND kissing her butt.
Im sorry. But all you can do, as you said, is continue to love her, support her BUT be the parent she needs - & yes, if that means discipline, then do be it. AND, yes, lead by example. In the end, she WILL appreciate it AND benefit from it.

It's painful that she'll go behind my back to her father when I try to enforce rules or even have her help out around the house.
You know the bad part of grounding from the parent's point of view, is that we are stuck with a very unhappy teenager! Sometimes I think the punishment is harder on us than them! Although they would beg to differ...
