[QUOTE="nvts, post: 273011, member: 3814"] Hey Sunkissed! Just a thought. Since she's graduating, why not a mom & daughter out to lunch day? Maybe if the two of you sit down, get a couple appy's and a burger and just talk. High School graduation brings in a whole new perspective on things. Let her talk. Let her spell out her plans, don't interject with what you think - I know that's tough - but sometimes saying things out loud to your parent, quietly make us start really, really think about how stupid we sound. Just sit back, in a neutral setting (that's why I suggested lunch) and let her "spell it out for you". After she's done, ask her how she plans to finance everything. Nod your head, "uhuh, uhuh,uhuh!". Then tell her how interesting it sounds, then ask her where she plans on living when she's doing all these incredible things. When she says at home, ask her how she's going to pay the rent? Feel better - you know that hindsite is always 20/20. Don't blame yourself - she didn't come with an instruction manual and if she had, it would have been written in a foreign language - just because fate thinks it's funny! Beth [/QUOTE]
