[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP update. So, my daughter has been behaving very well and enjoying the trip. She did come up and apologize today for how she acted (something she usually does after she acts out), and she called her aunt to apologize for ignoring her while she was on the phone. She’s a sweet and good girl, but she does have her moments like all kids do.[/quote]

Honey.  I have been a high school teacher off and on for 30 years.  This behavior is FAR, FAR, soooo far out of the range of normal I don’t even know where to begin.  She didn’t have “a moment”.  That was a 24 hour tantrum.  Her behavior would have been unacceptable for a 3 year old; for a 14 year old is is a five alarm fire of abnormality.

You both need to see a family therapist, stat.  Your kid is in, like, the Top 5 Historic Brats of All Time in my list right now and that’s of the *thousands* of tweens and teenagers I have known and worked with over these decades.

Seriously.  Top priority the day you are home.  Therapists and parenting coaches, STAT.[/quote]
