Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Love our daughter greatly, but Lord there were some tough times.

I fluctuate between "get out!" and, "here, let me braid your hair."

How old is the daughter?

19... decided she doesn't want to go to school anymore, but doesn't want to take on adult responsibilities much either... and definitely doesn't want to be told what to do by her less-than-intelligent parents.

My house, my rules. If they don't suit you, get your own place & do whatever you want.

Just can't do that crawling around under vehicles in the freezing cold, banging bits of your hands off and getting grease in your eyes stuff any more.

Oh sure I can... Still do it... Just a lot slower and think ahead before I actually do stuff.
I can't work on ten cars a day anymore though that's for sure .... Slow steady and deliberate.... That's the way I do things now.
But I can still hobby it.... That driveshaft would have taken me 20 minutes at a shop on a lift..... With a body that was about 15 years younger.

Maybe you could remind her that she’s living in YOUR house, and if she doesn’t like the rules it may be time to be an adult.

How did you cut your feet?

The doctor did..... But she decided they were too bad to do surgery...... So she burned them again..... Warts won't go away....

I think I've been in a movie theater once since I saw Dances With Wolves in one. Not paying that kind of $$ when I can see it free a bit later.

I love going to the movies been a few years for me wife goes once in a while.... She never wants to see what I want to see...I like big screen special effects.... Don't mind spending the money to get the heck out of the house.... I'm not a frugal person though....I guess if I had a lot of debt I would be..... But I don't own anything..... Not sure if that's good or bad..?
