Admittedly, I was i...I was like you, too, Claudia. Admittedly, I was invisible in high school, and afraid of the world. But mostly--I was afraid of my parents!

One day my almost 18 yo dd was arguing...I was too. One day my almost 18 yo dd was arguing with her sister. I told her to stop, she was being unreasonable and obnoxious. She accused me of always taking her sisters side (but, of course, since NOTHING was ever her fault) and said, "and you wonder why I want to move out!" like she was really getting me with that comment. HA! I immediately turned the tables on her and gave her a 10 min. talk about how I understood COMPLETELY why she would want to move out of a home where everyone was taken care of and held responsible for their actions, etc. and that when I was her age I was working 2 jobs, going to high school AND taking college classes at the local community college (dual enrollment), etc. She looked at me dead serious and said, "well, it was easy for you, you were already married to Dad". AUGH!!! I laughed so hard. I immediately texted my husband and asked him if he was aware I was still in high school when we married - we got quite the laugh out of that, but the sad part was, she had herself convinced that if she were only married, life would be easy. She moved out on her 18th b=day and married a guy within 2 months that she'd just met. Yep, life sure is easy for her now (not).<br /><br />I don't care if other kids do this kind of stuff, it is just not acceptable to me. I didn't treat my parents like this and I don't expect to be treated (used) like this either. I'm not asking for the moon here, just respect and consideration.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612523674452864077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11190188.post-12411655049671957222012-01-08T12:21:16.614-06:002012-01-08T12:21:16.614-06:00I was just like you, Caudia!I was just like you, Caudia!AnnMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05505967972774910106noreply@blogger.com
