[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 578157, member: 59"] That just makes so much sense. My difficult child was not ready to change then either. She is finally learning some small lessons by experience that hopefully will lead her to want to change but she's doing it on her own, with our support. Just today she told me she was upset at her roommmate and the roommates boyfriend who she let live with her, never do anything around the apartment to help clean or pay the bills. No matter how much we preached that she has to pay bills on time and any roommate needs to pay half she just dirregarded all our advice. Now the gas is subject to be turned off on Friday and rent isn't paid. I told her now she knows how we felt when she lived here and did nothing. and maybe next time she would be more careful about who she let live there. But these are lessons she has to learn on her own. [/QUOTE]
