We are going through a bout of lying and dishonesty.

Lots of great ideas! Similar situations take the "I'm the only one with a child like this" pain away.

I agree with some other poster about her getting a job. (if she doesn't already have one). It sounds like she is doing these things because there are no consequences. I would make her pay for every penny of the cell phone, the speeding ticket and the charge card. Teach her some responsibility. If you always "bail her out" then what does she care? "

IN my house it has always been I give you the first trust and after that you gain the rest by your actions. Bad actions make me lose trust and without trust no privileges, period. First of all the lying she should come clean if she can't no privies. I agree with everyone else, she must be responsible for her own actions, she is driving so I assume she id old enough to know better. I would cut her off totally and as she improves the privileges return one by one.


Believe me she won't stop living over this. Stay strong you'll get there
