[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP is right that you cannot make your child go to court if there is any hope of a relationship with her. You need to let her move and then you need to do everything you can to build a relationship with her. [b]I’m not sure what “rules” she is objecting to [/b]but taking a look at that might help you see where your bond broke down. I’m sorry. This must be so painful. [/quote] The rules are doing chores and a bedtime on school nights. The only way to fix that is to not have her do chores and let her stay up as late as she wants.[/quote] No, you stay being a responsible parent and keep a bedtime. For the chores, I'd tell her that everyone does chores and if she wants you to drive her, cook, grocery shop, clean, etc. then she also needs to pitch in. If she doesn't want to pick in, she can handle all those things herself. Part of living in a family is helping each other.[/quote]
