[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long have you been divorced?   Has she seen a counselor?

Other than that I agree with everyone else.  Too much for one day, and you should have taken her home as soon as she acted up.  Get her out of one of those after school classes, it's too much after a full day of school.

I also think the child of divorced parents needs compassion and understanding, but go ahead and try locking her in her room to see if that fixes everything. [/quote]

I agree with this, and will also note that with divorced parents, strict discipline won't work if the other parent isn't following at least a similar approach. Sounds like OP and her ex need to work together to address this, and I'd start with a therapist for the girl to help her process the divorce, her feelings, and to get an adult involved who can be more neutral and more exclusively focused on the child's needs.[/quote]
