[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 130807, member: 3647"] Jo, Jo, Jo. You should have let her sleep right through calling in sick. SHE screwed off all weekend. Nobody made her. NOBODY held a gun to her head and said "don't wear a jacket, get sick, and when you get home, skip the shower, and by the way, you don't have to bother setting your alarm to call in sick for work because mom will do it for you." If she lost her job, oh well. Natural consequences. THAT is how she would have learned to take care of herself! Maybe next time she would have thought it through. But as long as you and H keep bailing her out, she will keep doing as she pleases. And yes, making sure she got up to call in was bailing her out. If she loses enough jobs to get thrown out of the house, and has to live like a REAL person with REAL responsibilities, she will learn REAL fast that yo have to wash up and eat right and get your rest because mommy isn't gonna be there to catch her when she falls. Stop making it so easy for her. [/QUOTE]
