I know what you are going through. My niece is going to be 12 shortly. My sister tells her to go to her room and clean it. She is not to get out of her room until it is clean. She will stay there until hell freezes over, and still not clean!!! She has the computer taken away for a few days, up to 2 weeks and that really hurts. She also has a cell phone and a tv in her room (that one is my fault - I gave her a tv). I really don't get it because with all the stuff she has - she is still "bored" - at least that is what she says constantly. She has dance classes 4 days a week, school, homework and she is still "bored". She reminds me so much of my sister when she was growing up (I am 16 years older) that I just laugh at my sister!!!

I think that if your husband cannot back you up, he should stay out of it.
