13 year old daughter over-uses EVERYTHING she can get her hands on.


My daughter is 13, she has a bad "habit" of using something until it is gone, quickly. Im not sure if its some way of "getting back" at me for something or not but she has been scolded and punished multiple times for this. Its like she is not satisfied until whatever i just bought is completely gone. Some examples:When i go out and buy her the LARGE pump bottle shampoo its gone in a week. She uses an entire large container of Clorox wipes to clean her bathroom, one time. A roll of toilet paper will last about 3 times with her. If i bring home food, a family size box of ritz crackers for example, its gone in 1 night. Just about everything she gets her hands on is used until its gone.Yesterday all this came to a head, she didn't feel like getting toilet paper out so she used paper towels in the toilet. She then tried to fluch about 9 paper towels at the same time. She then proceeded to go start her laundry and use 12, yes 12 tide pods in one load. As you can imagine this clogged our sewer drain and i had to pay $250 for a plumber to come unclog it. This is the billionth time i told her not to use paper towels in the toilet. She just either doesn't care or thinks she doesn't have too.Its not a case of her being "slow" either, she is making straight A's in school with little to help from me. Any Advice? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2pGDVJy
