Sounds like she might be one of those moms who didn’t do this enough when her daughter was 6. 15 is a little late for that kind of deterrent/punishment.

The mom is 33 btw.

She’s sent her daughter to government school. Doesn’t she understand that her role is to provide sleeping quarters and some meals for this child? The government school is taking care of the rest—teaching the child values, etc. The mother has no business trying to interfere with the government school’s agenda.

Not only that—this woman is obviously interfering with the proper use of the taxpayers’ money. The taxpayers provide this girl with condoms, etc., and the mother presumes to inject herself into the sacred government/child relationship. Who does she think she is?

That isn't always true. Some children are just more hard headed than others. We used time outs, taking away priviledges, spankings, etc. with our oldest (who is now 23).

NOTHING worked on this kid - nothing. Eventually he ended up in juvi and went to a ranch for troubled kids. He still didn't learn.

Today he has a daughter - of course he's not married to the mom - and has gone through JobCorp, had and lost many jobs, is behind on child support, has been to jail on misdemenors, blah blah blah. . .

It isn't always the parent.
