2Leashes: Up front I will tell you that I have no suggestions for you - only a sympathetic ear. I understand what you're going through. My daughter has never needed rules. She always excelled in school, wasn't a brainiac nerd or anything, but always got A's and was usually her teacher's favorite student - that sort of thing. This continued throughout high school. She was a National Merit finalist and got the highest award offered to a student in our state. I was a spoiled mom. She didn't go through the obnoxious teen phase at all. I would listen to the other mothers gripe about their daughters and thank my lucky stars that she was a model child. Now we are in the summer before she goes many miles away to a very good school. Now she is sarcastic, patronizing, rude, etc. I don't know what to do - but I have to admit it is comforting in some way to hear that another mother is going through it. Hopefully some of the wiser CC moms will have something more helpful to say to you. Hang in there -
