I didn't see your previous thread Bath (been slack at updating my Platinum and it was probably in that section) but good for you for trusting your instincts on this one. You were doing it with the best motivation, which wasn't to punish her but was to keep her safe AND to help her reach her potential. I'm sure you talked to her about it heaps and she understands that.

We basically had to threaten to kick DSD out before she 'got' it in terms of what was OK and what was not OK. Not my preferred parenting style, not something I did lightly but the circumstances warranted it IMO. So I totally understand that you were willing to try something that you never thought you would. No point being dogmatic for the sake of it. Like we always say, every situation is different.

So pleased for you and for DD that everything is working out. Sometimes it's just too hard for them to avoid temptation(s) themselves because of peer pressure or whatever, so we have to make it easier for them.
