[quote=Anonymous]I think you are engaging in a push/pull.  You are telling her what to do and she is being defiant simply because she can.  Don't get in to a situation where you have to take random things away.  Make her responsible for the consequences.  Simply say that she needs to be ready at 10am when you leave to drive and you will drop her at basketball and go to the dry cleaners.  At 10am announce you are leaving. If she is ready, she goes and if not - leave without her.  If you don't feel comfortable with that (maybe no one else is home and leaving her alone when angry is not a good thing for her)  try telling her you can only drive up until 10am - after that you need to put something in the oven, finish the clothes dryer, take a shower . . .  something that prevents you from leaving the house until it's done.  Then do it and make her wait.  Your time is as precious as hers.  Or just let her sit and watch the tv as long as she wants.  She would be the one arriving late.  She would have to answer to the coach.  She may miss a game or two but she'll smarten up.
