[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I'd be so far beyond planet Pissed Off that the light from planet Pissed Off would take 1000 light years to reach me.  I'd take everything from her.  No phone, no car, no outings, no extracurricular, no money, no job, everything that matters to her would evaporate like dry ice on a hot summer day.  I would have her in a strict schedule to ensure enough sleep, exercise, nutrition, and academic stimulation.  I would make her "earn" my trust back.  With my trust comes privileges and freedom.  It would take months.  During this time I would (kindly and calmly) ask probing questions to determine if the problem is worse or if there are underlying problems.  I would take her for coffee once a week as a "health check".  I do this for much more minor infractions and my kids know not to test me.  Actually when they are tempted I say "Go ahead, I dare you to test me! I've been honing my patience for this for longer than you've been alive.  Don't believe me? Try it."  Honestly they take you up on this only once if you are true to your word.  "Mom jail" is no fun at first, but does bond you by the end if you implement it correctly.[/quote]
