I tell ya, I wish I could totally skip the teenage years...17 year olds are about the same as 14...especially when the maturity level is about there... ugh. Good luck!!! ;)G.

WAY TO GO MOM!!!! Pam, you...YOU ARE RIGHT ON!!!! WAY TO GO MOM!!!! Pam, you would never have forgiven yourself if you hadn't tried to track her down and something had happened to her. Making a statement by taking the phone away is perfect! She won't forget this next time. When one of my sons turned 18, we had to make the extremely hard decision to ask him to leave (October of senior year) - now, at age 24 - he has said "Thank you, Mom". Keep it up and I will say it again - YOU ARE RIGHT ON!! WAY TO GO MOM!!!<br />Missynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20620337.post-39184559060116430572012-12-18T22:25:50.488-08:002012-12-18T22:25:50.488-08:00One more thought...does it completely boggle her m...One more thought...does it completely boggle her mind to know that we ALL grew up without cell phones?!? In her world, I was "grounded" until I was married w/2 kids!

Tonight's "mantra" reminds me of another of our family's favorites...when one of my brothers was young, he furrowed his brow, crossed his arms, and said to our mother: "Don't you try to outstubborn ME!" Oooh, he had no idea who he was up against! ;) <br /><br />And, the way I look at it, Miss A is learning several lessons: keep your word, call and/or answer your phone, and don't even think about whining or arguing when you're up against MOM! It's totally not worth it - those 3 days went to 7 pretty fast, didn't they?! ;)<br />curly girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12346159875937920242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20620337.post-70057043136418366892012-12-18T18:46:30.879-08:002012-12-18T18:46:30.879-08:00Good job... now the hard part DO NOT GIVE IN>&g...Good job... now the hard part DO NOT GIVE IN>><br />Punishments are always hardest on the folks.Trudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494518257689310436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20620337.post-62486318382024452792012-12-18T18:03:02.031-08:002012-12-18T18:03:02.031-08:00I wouldn't have done any thing different.

I'm sure it is because it was driven into her brain as a teenager, to check in every time or suffer the consequences. You are an awesome mom. She will see that one day. Be patient grasshopper. ~ BrandiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
