I'm not giving her any more money. . sad but she had over 2000 dollars at the beginning of June to start her on her way. Plus the help we give her to get the car going. She has blown it all. She spent 150 dollars on those pet rats! Got a tattoo and piercings. . and Lord only knows where the rest went. She was supposed to come back home get a job and get herself on track to then decide where she was going. But. . ya know. What fun would that be.

That's exactly it...Fun...But we know fun comes to end at some point and we have to take care of business...She'll get to that point and she'll call and want you to bring her home. Or she'll suck it up and get job and grow up. Then she'll thank ya for being the best mom in the world! They always do!!!;)

Good for you! My heart hurts for you, though, because it's so hard to watch them learn the hard way. I know a kid who has never been held accountable for his actions. He's almost 30 years old and can't hold a job. Been in and out of jail a few times because he can't seem to follow orders given by the judge.

Yep. No use in lecturing fighting or crying. It is what it is. She wants to choose the rough road she better learn how to change her own tire!

She'll learn. It may take a while and it's gonna be hard, but she'll learn. I've got to wonder what his parents are thinking...
 
As a parent, relinquishing control was the most difficult thing for me to do. 26 years ago our daughter announced that she was moving to Georgia to live with a boy that she had been dating. For a variety of reasons, I was strongly opposed to this move. He WAS NOT the one I would have picked for her. Long story short - they have been married 24 years, really like/love one another and so far have raised 3 great kids - still not sure about # 3 :lol:. I guess all that we can do is give them a solid base to work from, allow them to make their mistakes and pick them up if necessary. :confused: There is also a strong possibility that prayer helps.

I have a friend who's son is in the same shape. They have bought him I don't know how many vehicles. . given him job after job in the family business. Gave him a HOUSE even. He blows it every time. He is almost 30 and so messed up on pills. They finally stopped giving him money so he broke in their house and stole from them! I've been heart broken for my friend for years with how her son treats her. So I have learned from her how not holding kids accountable can turn out.
