[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 479360, member: 84"] Sounds very positive. :) You know what? That scratching to get buy when your young can do a ton to build character and make you appreciate things. I mean when you're basically starting out with nothing......you feel a huge accomplishment with every little new thing you do, buy for yourself, ect......which becomes positive reinforcement. Because you have nothing and are trying to build up, that adds up to a lot of positive reinforcement along the way. lol I remember when husband and I were starting out. All his stuff went to his ex in the divorce (what little they had) except the livingroom suit. Wasn't too horrible when he was still in the army but when he got out.....whew boy that was an adjustment. We ate pbj and drank koolaide ate off a borrowed card table.......slept on the floor. But those are some of my fondest memories. lol Go figure. I made my girls scratch. They have the same fond memories of it. Honestly, difficult child or easy child, lots of people start their adult lives off that way. Sounds like she's got a great roommate. hugs [/QUOTE]
