[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 102038, member: 1157"] My Oldest is like this, as well. She is very slowly getting better, at 23 .. partly because now that she is married, she sees her husband wasting "their" money and bills not being paid. Just a year ago, thouigh, I came across the blog of one of her friends on Myspace, talking about how much she had hurt him by borrwing hundreds of dollars, then going out to clubs and spending money on drinks left and right, in front of him. It just didn't occur to her NOT to get that tattoo, NOT to go out partying, NOT to buy that new outfit, when you are behind on your car payment (it got reposessed), your car insurance (her license got suspended), or your rent (she got evicted). All preventable consequences, but she didn't learn much from them (except to find someone else to "borrow" from). Only time will tell if your difficult child will "get it" one day. In the meantime, do your best to let it go, and don't "lend" her any more. [/QUOTE]
