Our middle school daughter has an excuse or can blame others for everything. We've never put up with it, but she's never learned. She's going to be dealing with puberty soon which in combination with be a nightmare. Examples: Not doing a homework assignment becomes my teacher misplaced it. (We don't even entertain this but even after it hasn't worked she reuses it). Being tardy to class becomes kids were walking slow in my way. Missing the bus was always the bus drivers fault. When she doesn't do her chores always an inventive excuse.We never give her an inch on the dishonesty or excuses. She can't say 'sorry I'll do it now'. When you catch her in a lie she screams that she wants a normal life. Or she will cry that she didn't so anything wrong. We've done lectures, confrontation, spanking, grounding, room confinement. She's always a victim of the punishment and her life just isn't fair.We want her to grow up to be a responsible adult any suggestions? This is our middle kid. via /r/Parenting http://bit.ly/2Qc5uG1
