Parents Support One Another @ MyOutOfControlTeen.com/support = I need help with the following issue:
Our daughter, 17 years old is quite gifted academically, however, quite used to "getting her way" by wearing down her mother in a variety of combative and verbally abusive methods. Simple grounding may be difficult with her current academic load and needing access to her car to commute to high school and community college. One method I would choose would be denial of c-phone privelage and limited "time together" with her boyfriend. She will no doubt be a terror at home during this period. Any advise on how to cope with two emotional females under one roof?

Ground her on the weekends if a consequence needs to be implemented.
Your idea about taking away the cell and limiting time with boyfriend is a good one, but if you take her car away -- even for the weekend -- that will really hit her where it hurts.
Why is your wife engaging in arguments w/ your daughter. It's hard to get "worn down" if your "not going to argue" about it in the first place.
