Today, I figured out why I have been feeling so drowsy and lethargic for the past week. My daughter had been slipping sleeping pills into my coffee as payback for taking her phone away. FML

Time to put the hammer down. On her phone. Repeatedly!

Your daughter sounds like she needs to learn some lessons about maturity. I suggest you find a way to deal with this before she steps up her game to something more harmful.

Get her committed that's dangerous and stupid reason because you took her phone wtf

I think it's best you look into scared straight because your daughter needs to learn what she's doing is serious and could have very bad consequences.

I'd seriously consider sending her away to boarding school or boot camp (or even prison, I'm pretty sure tampering with food and drink is unlawful). She very well could have done permanent damage if she was careless or vindictive enough.

I'd scare her straight collab with your local police station and scare her into realising what she did was serious an actual crime

Scare the crap out of her. Before you confront her about it, have a family friend pick her up from school one day and sit her down for a talk..... about how you fell asleep behind the wheel and in critical condition in the hospital. Have details worked out and maybe a friend that can cry on cue. Dont keep it up for long, but maybe 10-15 minutes before you walk into the room holding the sleeping pills.

That kind of "scared straight" crap only works on TV. In the real world it would destroy what little respect this girl may still have for her mother and make her more likely to be abusive towards her not less. Anyone who can be so self centered that they would do this to their own mother over a cell phone would only feel that they were being subjected to abuse and manipulation and they would lose what little trust or respect they may still have for her mother. .

Holy crap I think maybe you need to take a look through that phone and see what else is on there and also get your daughter some serious counseling.

soo your medicine cabinet is child friendly :)

"Daughter" doesn't necessarily mean "child". She could be a toddler, or more likely she could be a teen. My family's medicine cabinet is open to whoever can reach it, but even my eleven year old brother has enough brains not to go rooting through someone else's medication. If OP's kid is smart enough to try and drug them, they're probably past the age where they would shove anything they found in there in their mouth.

I can be a vengeful person but I'd never ever dream of doing that to anyone. Parent, friend or worst enemy. So many scenarios that could happen.

In addition to a very, very serious talk with your daughter, I'd consider having a talk with her teachers/parents of her friends/anyone else she's around when not around you. If she went this far when she was mad at you, she might do serious damage to a peer as well. Time to check in and look for other warning signs, and maybe let some people know that she shouldn't be trusted too much.
