[quote=Anonymous]It's something kids need to learn, and it has to be said to them explicitly and repeatedly: with independence comes responsibility. It would be fine if she were spending the night over a friends' house several nights a week (independence) if she kept up on her responsibilities (school). Put it to her that way and see what she says. I agree with PP talking about options to get her to finish her high school degree. But at some point, the discussion has to turn to the fact that you pay for things like cell phone and car, and she cannot afford those on her own. She needs to understand how you are supporting her, and what you can take away if she doesn't work on high school. It's really not a big ask. [/quote]
