[QUOTE="busywend, post: 488272, member: 391"] I agree that your requirements are not to strict or out of line. And with a easy child they would actually work to make them a better person. Not so sure you are going to actually teach your difficult child anything about life with those normal rules though. Just being realistic here. I would like you to think about what the ultimate goal is here. Unless I am wrong, I do not believe you want your difficult child living with you until she is 30, right? So, anything that will help her learn independence and get her on the road to moving out is a good thing!! So, while my difficult child did walk to work (like a block) I would have gladly driven her just to get a few hours of peace in my house at night - LOL! True! Now, I do work a full time job, so I would not have been able to drive her if the hours she had to work were not when I was available. But, that actually works out better because it ensures that the peaceful hours of her working were when I was NOT working and I could enjoy being home alone for a few hours. All I really wanted was for her to get some job experience down so she could continue working and eventually move on out! Sometimes you have to think about things in a non-easy child way in order to get them to where they need to be. [/QUOTE]
