[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 532822, member: 1550"] Hi there. I'm not sure how the Cubs are doing this year (I gave up baseball when the steroids era hit), but I remember those painful Cubbie fan days myself!!! I am from Illinois originally :) Look, I have a sixteen year old who is rarely home. I think it's pretty normal. Maybe her boyfriend is influencing her to be a bit snottier than normal. That's never fun. Well, she's about to find out how hard it is to take care of herself if she is moving out with boyfriend soon. Especially since they are not prepared. It will be a good learning experience for her. As for the human part...I find my kids became very human again around twenty-five. They actually can APPRECIATE us by then...lol. I can't promise anything, but I think there's a good chance she will appreciate that you were a good mother IN SPITE of having bipolar by then. It is an extra challenge yet you did it! In the meantime, while she is living at home, if she is disrespectful, I'd cut the money, the cellphone, the car etc. Bet she'll stop the disrespect fast when she realizes who is paying her bills (unless she is doing it). I've always found that very effective with my one difficult child daughter. Good luck with your daughter! [/QUOTE]
