Moms-do you have major trouble with your teen daughter?

I can only talk as a married father. It was some years ago now my daughter is now 28 and on her way to being a mum herself.

But she had wayward times at about 15. First we imposed clear sanctions. Loss of Internet and phone, no clubs, grounded etc. One incident led to all 3 being imposed at once. She felt isolated from her friends and was upset at how we calmly implemented them saying why we were "disappointed".

She then asked her brother (away at uni) at the time to intercede. He wouldn't. I think that then pulled her up short. A few little incidents after that but she realised our support was more important to her.

She's turned herself into a terrific young woman now.

Well mine are grown but they knew from the outset that if rules were broken they were grounded and they lost privileges, one time i emptied my sons bedroom of his tv, playstation and computer and he had to earn it all back. He never stepped out of line again. Whatever you impose its imperative you see it through. Nowadays take their phone its their lifeline.

Many single dads with daughters as well

@Bluebirdsonmyshoulder i have no kids but it is a well known fact that female girls can be difficult in there teen years stroppy and obstructive
