[quote=Anonymous]I could use some advice. I have two young boys (8 and 4) and my teenage sister(14) moved in with us to get away from our abusive mother. We are very close and have always been. I'm finding it very hard to adjust to my new role in her life. Her sleep schedule is horrible and she is always very tired in the morning. For example last night she was up reading at midnight and I found myself saying "It's up to you but I really think you should get some sleep." She laughed and said she was going to go to sleep soon and pretty much ignored the request. This morning she slept in and didn't want to eat breakfast, I encouraged her to at least take a granola bar in the car but she insisted she was fine. With my boys I would have made sure they were in bed on time and would not have let them skip breakfast. Should I be enforcing these things? These are pretty minor things, and I don't want her to feel like I'm treating her like a toddler either.  I don't know the first thing about what normal teenager girl behavior looks like. [/quote]
