Parents Support One Another @ MyOutOfControlTeen.com/support = I need help with the following issue:
My teens don't really like the new rules or my new parenting strategy, but they are doing what is asked. It sure is hard to be the odd man out when we all use to be so close. Anyone else feeling this alienation? What do you do to cope?
My son stole money from my bank account...
Parents Support One Another @ MyOutOfControlTeen.com/support = I need help with the following issue:
My son stole money from my bank account despite it being overdrawn, and im a single parent. He stole money from my cash point for the past two nights in a row and flatly denies it. I cant cope with his total disrespect. Ive told him to leave. I actually hate him in my life and want him gone for good. Ive lost all rationality now.

My daughter will get angry and not answer her phone...
Parents Support One Another @ MyOutOfControlTeen.com/support = I need help with the following issue:
Here's my dilemma. My daughter will get angry and not answer her phone even when she knows I have an urgent issue to discuss with her.
Likewise, she is a poor driver and has a couple of tickets and accidents-no injury. She must pay for the additional cost in insurance to continue driving but does not yet have a job (she's 17), so she has to use her car to job hunt as we live a ways from town.
The car and the phone are the only things she really cares about, but if I take them away, I have no means of communication and she can not look for a job, and/or I have to drive her everywhere. I am single and have to be out of town for a couple of days from time to time as well. Suggestions?

I am very frightened by him...
Parents Support One Another @ MyOutOfControlTeen.com/support =
I have a 16 year old boy who is out of control and I am very frightened by him. He has no respect for me and his father. He has damaged property, stolen, lied, drunk alcohol, hit his mother and father and called the police and had his father arrested. He was thrown out of the house and returned after 3 weeks agreeing to a very basic contract of respect, no lying, or stealing, going to school and coming back, and no going out and on probation or a month. within 3 weeks of that he was absuing the system by going out without permission and returning home at 12.30. Last friday he was brought home by the police as he was involved in a violent incident where one of his friends trashed a shop and other boys ran and 2 were beaten with metal rods and are now in hospital. They were kept in a prison cell and will be charged with criminal damage. Now the friends are arguing amongst each other and threatening each other with fights as to who is the snitch etc etc. The boy has no respect. He will not carry out any consequences. Just refuses and says I dont like your rules. Every thing in the house is either with a parent or locked up. The effect on all our lives is devastating and especially a younger sibling (boy) who is 13 who is so far OK. Can anyone help. I have been following the advice in the e-book but it is so hard and I dont know what to do.

Fighting about her future...
Parents Support One Another @ MyOutOfControlTeen.com/support = I need help with the following issue:
My 18-year-old daughter and I have been fighting about her future. All of the sudden she wants to take a career path that has no chance of ever allowing her to be financially self-sufficient. Her response is always the same, "Well, you can't always have things your way, Dad" It's never about how fulfilling the job would be. It feels like she is doing this to get back at me for something or prove she can stand up to me. This situation makes no sense to me or her mother.

Should I let him go and face the consequences?
Parents Support One Another @ MyOutOfControlTeen.com/support = I need help with the following issue:
My Son is 15. He has gotten OSS for not serving extended detention. He has plans to go to the school anyway. If he goes he will be arrested. I was going to stop him from getting on the bus but after looking thru the the e-book I might be trying to save him from himself. Should I let him go and face the consequences?
