[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 498359, member: 1967"] dash, I think part of it is her being a difficult child and part of it is just being a 20-year-old. They are just so self-centered at that age and parents are just expected to be there when they want us to be and to let them be when they are busy with their own lives. I just stay busy with my own life and pretty much just let both my easy child and difficult child initiate contact. My easy child has even commented that I don't call her every day like some of her friends' moms do. I just laugh and tell her that I have a life. easy child calls and texts me a lot more now that she is teaching. I think it is part of the natural process of growing up. She likes to meet husband and me on Fridays for dinner so we can discuss our week. difficult child usually calls when she wants something. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
