Gone Again!!!

The alarm system has motion detectors. We just have to pay to activate it. $40 per month. It will cover the front door...
so then she will start using the windows...and if we want to cough up the $$, those can be wired into the system.
Honestly, it's expensive, but probably the most "foolproof" way to go.

That's a great idea, and actually we tried it. But - one good rain... Or some big time humidity... And poof, it doesn't work.

I like the punishment!!! I definately think kids are more upset to have things taken away than be grounded. I myself was a horrible teen, I used to sneak out or just not come home at night. The best thing would be some security system that beeps when a door or window opens. When I was an unruley teen we had a beagle dog and everytime I would sneak in quietly this dog would start barking, whining this ear piercing sound and wake my parents up! He was NOT my favorite pet!!!

If you have a fenced yard, I've heard one of the best alarm/guard systems is a goose. Or if you just want an alarm, a guinea hen. No sneaking past them and they make a lot of noise when they get spooked.

What did she say when she got home today? I am guessing that she had some great explanation to everything.

A guinea hen will make noise. That is the truth. You can not get past them or peacocks.

Bonus... Peacocks are MEAN. So are geese.

What did she say when she got home from school? Did she at least make up a good excuse?

Just an FYI.... peacocks like to sit on shiny new vehicles and scratch the heck out of paint jobs. Be careful picking anything that will be a nuisance to your neighbors especially since you're renting.

I haven't read all of the posts, just wanted to say that I had an alarm system on my house - every window, every door. She still found a way out. To this day, I have absolutely no idea how. It amazed me how many kids slip out at night and go "hang out"....I couldn't sleep soundly after that. I constantly wanted to go check her room and see if she was still there.
My dad just nailed the windows shut. In case of fire they could easily be broken. When gfgbro pulled the nails, my dad used construction glue and told bro that if he messed witht hem then dad would "fix" every possession he owned for the next two years.
Bro never went out his room again, but he did go out the front door and in my bedroom windows. Of course he threatened to hurt me if I didn't open the windows to let him in. Since he couldn't open his own windows I lit his cigarettes in htere so his room REEKED and he got in huge trouble. I told him next time I would light his pot in the room and ask my dad what that stench was. Since at the time bro was still paying off having all of our clothes cleaned professionally because he made garlic "tea" and passed out and it burned and filled the entire house with the stench of burned garlic, well, he did NOT want to deal with any more problems because things got burned in the house.
I also set off an entire Sam's size can of Lysol in his room since he hates that scent, and would go in and wake him up at all hours as payback for waking me up to elt him back in after he snuck out to party.
I also filled his skoal cans with dish soap and/or ipecac.

Susie... my gfgbro just detached the whole window from the house so he could slide it out of place, then replace it after he got out. Nailed or glued or anything... Dad didn't figure it out until GFGbro left home and there was a rattle in that room that scared a guest...
