Guest guest Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Thanks Kelley for your response.......she has an alarm clock, it goes off every morning. she doesn't get up....... she is 18, does have a job, blows all her money.... she's not prepared, too bad....... too bad for what, just stays home and does nothing. She does go to work just fine, but has nothing to show for it. I told her all I wanted was for her to go to school, finish and graduate, and work while she is home. She is working, and goes to school when she feels like it. Like you said, a damned situation, because there are days when she is great. The weekends are fine, works all wknd. goes out each nite. I can't tell her that if she's not going to school, then go get a job. She has one. I tell her all the time she has to follow my rules........ I guess now it's time to tell her to get out? Hang in there for how long? Hoping and praying and continuing the b.......t until I hope she graduates? How do I know she won't? How do I know she will? Just keeping her there in the hopes that she does? Or, wait until then, when she doesn't kick her out then? What? The scene that would make me feel better about my life, is her doing what she is supposed to be doing, going to school, continuing to work, for what I don't know....... and then eventually graduate. That is the ultimate scene. Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Oh Debbie, She is 18 that may be the next step of your boundary. Ok this is my house and as long as you are here you will do things my way. If you are not happy with my way at any time you can find your own place, however i doubt your income will support an apartment, electricity, groceries, gas for your car and all your entertainment needs. Lets see, I will allow you to take your bedroom furniture and your personal belongings but you will have to buy anything else you need. Yeah my Mom would a told me to get out! She did a few times and I left for a few days to party and they worried but when I came crawling back I followed the rules!
