[QUOTE="ksm, post: 683530, member: 12511"] After a rough morning... Jxxxxx, I am tired of you playing the adult card then playing the I need help I am a child card. You don't get to enjoy the perks of both. You can't say "I am an adult, it's my money, you can't tell me what to do" then ask for money because you didn't plan ahead. You can't expect for someone to let you drive their car, then be unable to pay for gas., or act unappreciative. You can't live in someone's home, then trash it. You can't say you were getting up when you weren't. You can't expect to get to work or school on time when you aren't prepared. You can't complain that I dropped the ball about prom, then complain that I micro manage you when you need to do things on your own. You were told before spring break that I expected your room and bathroom needed to be cleaned up, but it is worse now than before. You treat the one person who wants the best for you, the worst. So, I either keep my mouth shut, keep my car, keep my money, and keep my advice to myself. Or, if you are willing to take, take, take, then that is going to include guidance, with out staring blankly at a wall, or rolling your eyes, or saying "I am done!" Because adults realize that life is a long series of compromises. Not a long series of expecting others to give you what you want. The real world doesn't work that way. ....and I did get an "I'm sorry". But it isn't near enough. I am ready for her to move out, even though there is two more months of high school. I am just tired of this disrespect. ksm [/QUOTE]
