[QUOTE="Iamwipedouttoo, post: 301597, member: 7829"] Thanks for all the points of view and suggestions and input. I think she did have a bit of self realization there and I am going to try to stop beating myself up over every little decision and just focus on what I can do and cannot do the next time things come up. In this case, I think I did do the right thing. Whatever the reason for the change in her decision, she ended up making the decision I hoped she would to begin with and it was the one that would benefit her so that IS progress. I need to focus on that even if the way I saw her go about it was strange in my eyes! I called the car insurance again and got prices with and without good student discounts, etc. My husband is adamant he will not pay for insurance if she continues to be miserable about everything. I don't necessarily disagree but if she is honestly trying to make changes, I would like to help her. How much help she gets is yet to be discussed. Pinning my husband down to talk about these things is like pulling teeth! I told her I wanted to come up with a plan for her to work toward getting her license (earning drive, time, etc.) this weekend but she's blowing it off (she has more important things to do apparently). Thanks again, I cannot wait to see what she throws at me next (yeah, right!)! [/QUOTE]
