[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, you are a nicer person than I. I would’ve bluntly given her boundaries about 5.5 months ago and if she couldn’t keep them I would’ve initiated rematch. A needy, emotional teenager who hasn’t bonded with my kids? No way!![/quote] How though? My DH is like "tell her to stay downstairs " you can't do that. The problem is she goes nowhere, does nothing. How can we tell her to buzz off? Yes, I'd love to go into rematch, but with 6 months left in the program, I feel like I should just swallow it.[/quote] Tell Her that between the hours of x-y it is family time and she needs to occupy herself. Seriously. Get firm. Explain that while you “enjoy” being with her you and dh need some time alone with your kids and those hours are it. Does she not have any friends? Hobbies? Start her on a tv show that has 100+ episodes and encourage her to watch it when she’s off... But honestly, I would just rematch even for 6mos. [/quote]
