[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 130926, member: 1550"] She won't take care of herself because you still take care of her and feel responsible for her. difficult child's, when not motivated to grow up DON'T. in my opinion we do them no favors by babying them. I'm shocked that you even allow MB in the house. If it were my kid, and she wanted to see this jerk, she'd do it without my car and certainly not be allowed to bring him near me. I've done this with a few of my daughter's loser boyfriend's before I finally made her find another place to live. I recommend making her take 100% care of herself when she does things like this and if she blows it, well, let MB take care of her. She won't improve if you keep taking care of her. She hasn't gotten better so far, has she? It's tough to do (trust me, I know), but if nobody makes kids like this fail on their own, they keep needing us and even BLAMING us when THEY screw up, if we somehow forget to do something for them. I don't remember her story, but if she isn't paying for her own upkeep AND rent, I'd give make her do it. And MB would have to hang out with her elsewhere. It won't make her break up with him, but you won't have to see him in YOUR house. And it IS your house. [/QUOTE]
