[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually wouldn't feel bad about that. It's realistic and fair. I don't think you should feel horrible OR disgusted with yourself, nor do I think you should buy her super expensive makeup. She's 16 - this is what part time jobs are for! You don't have to fix this. Silent treatments are immature. She will get over it when she needs something else from you. Food, a ride, to find something she's lost, money, info, etc.[/quote] This. Plus, going to school is not optional in my home. A PT job and activities will help get her out of her head and keep her busy. Some volunteering may also lend depth to her perspective and values. OP, you are the parent. Nothing you said was untrue. She uses her unhappiness to control you. Are you married? Is her dad in the picture? We all have to come to terms with things in life that are not optimal for us. Teach her resilience. I'd get her off socials for sure. Does she do any sports? [/quote]
