[QUOTE="slsh, post: 486805, member: 8"] BT should consider which of her loved ones she would like to be on the road when difficult child is driving. If BT feels so strongly about this, BT is welcome to provide transportation. The only "barriers" that have been put up have been done so by difficult child. Problem already solved since BT is so confident that difficult child will get a scholarship. You're already out of this equation per BT. It's a burden to "do to get"? A burden to start showing signs of being a responsible human being, with an iota of self-control and investment in her own life? A burden to get a job where she could show up without inconveniencing others? A burden to be expected to do school work now so college might even be a possibility in the future? Nope - the burden is being an 18-year-old with no job, no experience, no education. It is *not* your responsibility to fuel her fantasies today. It's your job to prepare her for the realities of life in 2 years. It's BT's job to help difficult child join us in reality. It's *difficult child's* job to put the work in now so she doesn't have to be slinging burgers (should she be fortunate enough to even get a job) in 2 years just to keep a roof over her head.
