I am at a total loss, I don’t know what to do anymore,
My oldest is 17 turns 18 in Jan
She has this mindset that she can do what she wants when she wants regardless of the rules set,
This weekend I caught her in a huge lye! She asked to go to a concert told me at first that is was in Pittsburgh I told her no, I don’t want her 2 hours away without a parent, the she told me that she was mistaken it’s actually at blossom which is 45 minutes from my house come Saturday and she didn’t come home after work so I checked her location. Turns out she was at the concert that in fact was in Pittsburgh, so she purposely and deliberately lied to me just so she can go to this concert, I have set consequences for this as I’m being grounded not able to have her phone when she’s home no access to the Internet on her TV. Her smart TV in her room as she’s only to go to school and work at home but I’m taking her phone. I read through some of her messages and found out that she had lied to a couple of her friends telling them that she has been kicked out of the house and she needs a place to stay. This is false, then I found out she lied to another friend telling them that I’m a bitch and that I won’t bring her food which was not the case well kind of was but I had told my daughter that since she thinks she’s grown enough to make her own decisions and do whatever she thinks she can do whatever she wants and she can figure out how to get food while at work, I’m so disappointed in her and hurt, I also discovered that right before I took her phone she told a friend that I called the cops on her, also not true, I did however tell her that if she was to leave the house without permission again that I will send the police to her location to pick her up, I just don’t know what to do anymore I’ve been fighting with her about following the rules and expectations of the house since she turned 17 I don’t know what to do,
