teenager breaking curfew
Tony wrote:
G'morning. I just joined this group looking for some advice. My ex-wife & I have joint custody of my teenage daughter who just turned 18 this past week. Sometime last fall, she broke curfew at my place & I punished her accordingly. Now she's broken curfew at her mom's. My ex-wife wants to punish my daughter & wishes that I 'match' the same punishment at my place. Basically, to be on the same page. I disagree. I don't have as many problems with my daughter as does my ex-wife. Advice? It's not your job to punish your daughter for your ex. It's your job to establish appropriate house rules with appropriate consequences and carry out those consequences for your house, not the ex's. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that there is more going on than just your daughter coming in late. The answer to these issues is not your wife unilaterally stating the rules and consequences. There are two adult parents involved. You should be able to sit down and discuss the issues together as parents, and work out appropriate solutions. You daughter is an adult. So she needs to be part of the discussions so she buys into the solution, as well. Jeff |
