[QUOTE="Andy, post: 201394, member: 5096"] Oh I am so sorry you are dealing with this attitude from your daughter. I have a new 18 year old and although she has always made it home it was often much closer to waking up time than midnight. She has sent the message loud and clear that her life is none of my business. She has basically turned her back on us and then feels left out if I don't go out of my way to include her on everything. If you are not home you can not partake! Once she became 18, I felt better about being able to threaten to throw her out of the house. When you are so disrespectful, you don't have a right to ask of anything of your parents. My difficult child is lucky that we are still providing a place to live and $$$ for on-line college. There is always food in the house but if she is not home when I make something I won't wait on her to serve it. She sometimes gets mad when I take difficult child out to a resturaunt but if she was with me at the time I would have taken her also. She can't have all the good things if she purposely turned her back on me. Keep your ground and tell her that she is old enough to straighten out her own life. I also think 17 is a very scary age as the kid is contemplating the future. They don't know what the future will be and what they can do about it. They will not listen to their parents to guide them to college or a good job. Sometimes these kids like ours who are so disrespectful refuses to be successful because to be so they have to work at it and possibly buy into something their parents advised. So many of those will follow their parents advise but disguise it or just outright deny that the idea was the parent's. They don't know that parents don't care who they give the credit to as long as they do whatever it takes to succeed in an independent life. I hope your daughter doesn't have to hurt herself too much longer before deciding to succeed in life. [/QUOTE]
