My son informed me that my granddaughter is moving back in with him. He read the rules she has to adhere to and she agreed and signed it. I am not sure that she will be able to follow the rules. The most important rules were no smoking pot on property, no drinking, keeping all appointments with therapist and following their rules. No yelling, name calling, taking her dog for a walk every day and cleaning up after him. He will have his hands full. She is already testing him and asked if she could use the car. He said no and then she wanted to know how she was going to go to her appointments. He responded that she could walk, ride her bike or take a bus. I am very concerned because she already is excepting a lot. Need some advice and support to get through this.

Thanks,

Your granddaughter has agreed to a lot, but as long as your son enforces the consequences of breaking a rule, then she might behave. However, I certainly think he will have his hands full!

What kind of specific advice are you looking for? : )

I completely agree with Payne.

Keep posting, you are not alone, never ever alone. ((hugs))

If she follows the rules, great. If not, and your son sticks to the consequences he set up for her, maybe she'll learn quickly and not do it again. If she keeps breaking the rules, she knows what the consequences will be, so, to quote Dr. Phil (yeesh! ): "You choose the behavior, you choose the consequences."
