daughter thrown out

[mattymatt123]

This may sound harsh but does anyone know what the exact legal age my daughter has to be before i can force her to leave home ?? I really am at my wits end!!!

kat2206 ( I really don't understand your point DrFilth )
the point is he has called someone a name that person has called him a name then he starts to whinge.
still waiting mattymatt ?

Rather than name calling, I think the matter of his daughter is absolutely paramount....

However, as he has not replied to any of our messages I happen to wonder whether this was all hot air, or maybe even a figment of his imagination to get peoples emotions riled, maybe he doesnt even have a daughter ......

maybe his daughter has smashed his computer ? Then run off to her boyfriends flat and are going to live happy ever after

Unfortunately, there are teenagers, that you cannot help and all the care and compassion in the world will not sort it out. Perhaps instead of not caring, matty cares about the others in the family.
My step-daughter set fire to my house and yes she was made to leave, should I have waited until she had hurt my son or killed me and her dad?
There are supported accommodation through your local council, try them when she is 16, perhaps refer her into social services, you may then be able to access support and counselling through the CAMHS service.
My daughter has sporadic contact with us and can visit if she likes, she chooses not to but the door is open.
A hard choice but my marriage and family were at risk, decisions had to be made.

i think theres some thing wrong with her im 17 now and i was like that wen i was 15 it was because i wanted to grow up before i was old enough. sit her down talk to her ask her why she's acting this way. but dnt kick her out my mam did that with me n i have never for givin her im now livin with my bf and his parents till me and my mam work it out. i was kicked out at the age of 15 i got worse after that. once i met my bf i calmd down and started to act my age but i was still cryin out for a bit more help. my mam never real took any notice of me or real talked to me all she did was shout and swear at me. but do try and sort it out because it could be her cryin out for help.

sorry for delay in answering, my wife gave birth to a baby girl a couple of days ago, and yes i think maybe the penny has dropped but I really don't have a clue still what to do about her, as long as she gets all her own way she is still my little girl, (if I let her get away with everything that is). I don't want to throw her out I really don't, and if I'm honest I reckon she will leave on her birthday if she gets her way, I just really want her to do her exams, I wish she would understand just how important they are.

[DrFilth]

well look on the bright side she has not smashed your computer up

[mattymatt123]

lol, shes being little miss nice at the moment

My daughter started going off the rails at 13, so you have had a couple more years of grace than me, she lost her virginity at 13, you name it shes done it, but ive stood by her through it all, not that ive wanted too, i too have felt like closing the door and changing the locks but i didnt and now shes 20 and has a 6 month old daughter herself, i cant say shes not attitude free cos i would be lying, but shes a lot better now than she ever was, just bare with her, and listen when she needs you too there is some light at the end of the tunnel, i promise. Good luck and keep on top of it after all your the parent not her and what you say should go. x
