[quote=Anonymous]OP--how are things coming along with your DD? If it was me, I would sit down and have an adult chat with her. How does she envision this week playing out? Does she think that she's going to stay home by herself? Let her know that legally, you cannot do that. She has to be under the supervision of an adult. Whom does she suggest? She's welcome to try and find someone to stay with but she has to make the calls, ask, and come up with a plan. If she is unable to do so, then she needs to go with the family. If she's going to be a pissy brat, then no one needs to be subjected to her behavior. She can stay in the hotel room while everyone else enjoys Italy. But make it clear that she cannot hold the family hostage; you function as a unit; and sometimes the unit does what a single individual does not want to do. Once you get back, you need family therapy to learn how to parent your child. Teenage years are tough![/quote]
