[QUOTE="TheyAreLegallyAdultsNow, post: 354699, member: 8405"] :winking: I can relate KT Mom! We'd tell our kids; "It is our job as your parents to equip you to become a responsible adult, that's why we're not doing it for you." My husband used to smile wide at his whiny employees and say[SIZE=6][SIZE=3];[/SIZE] "I have the utmost confidence in your ability!" [SIZE=2] [/SIZE][SIZE=2]I began tagging the two together... :happy: My DS[/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2]-difficult child would get infuriated at the concept of filling out his own medical forms (it's important that he know what medicines he's allergic to!) He'd pitch a total fit if I would direct him to look something up in the phone book himself. It seemed much of his frustration was he didn't know how to do it, and was too... something(???)... to ask for help. I wouldn't back down, but I'd instruct him step by step, closely supervise and encourage that... [/SIZE][SIZE=6] "I have the utmost confidence in your ability!" [/SIZE]:beautiful-male: [/QUOTE]
