since that is what you said you would do. It is important to follow through with your repercussions, otherwise you are just making idle threats. :(

Don't feel bad about it..you gave her a choice to make, and this is the end result of the choice she made.

I know it's hard. If it's any consolation to you, they do outgrow this stage eventually. It just seems like it takes forever sometimes. lol

I still have two 17-year-old daughters and a 14-year-old son at home...so I definitely know what you are talking about ((hugs)) to you!
