My teenage daughter is not a bad kid just making bad choices. I am being a parent to her by making her be responsible by staying in school, and if she wants a boyfriend she has to have a job as well. She has told me that she has smoked pot with her boyfriend and I have revoked her privliges of driving to pick up her boyfriend. I insist that she get a job so she is not so idol, and since she does not have homework after school. She came home from school and said she hates school and is not going back. With all the defience she has been giving me I gave her a choice to either go back to school or pack her things. She packed some things and started walking(not at bf,s). Her exboyfriend called me & said she is fine and she will be home in a couple of days. My question is do I let her come back or make her stay away a little longer. I feel I should not let her back, and let her wear out her welcome where ever she is at. She does not have any money & this might make her see things clearer.
