“Well see, that’s my point, if I had to follow her, I’d still have to pay the consequences for her behavior.

So I’d probably take away her cell phone, TV, after school dances etc. Ground her for several weeks from all things she loves.

I’d still drive her to school, but I’d never shut up about it. I’d be crabby all the way. She’ be begging to walk.”

No, parents do NOT do the old “take away their cell phone”. These days a cell phone is a safety requirement. This irritates me to no end in my family law cases. That is the the worst thing the parent can do. It leaves a child vulnerable to God knows what. DO NOT TAKE AWAY THE CELL PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I’m picking the kid up, taking her to school, and she’s grounded at home with me, and going no where else, I don’t see that taking away a cell phone so that she’s not texting all day long is a safety problem-it certainly would not be where we live.

Give them an old inactive cell phone. It will still dial 911.
