[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 682811, member: 2196"] She didn't make it to school again!! My mom made an exception and drove all the way down to my place and tried to wake her up for a half hour but she refused to get out of bed! I am so DONE with her. I get she has disabilities, but I actually have more diagnoses than her, and yet I hold down a VERY stressful job and make it to work on time every day. Oh and my mom took her for the orientation for her job workshops the other day. They explained to Difficult Child all about their benefits. She was told that she would be getting money to complete the work shops, plus gift cards, plus on the job PAID training. You want to know what she said to my mom after they came out of there? "Why can't I stay a child. Do I really have to adult?" Ummmm, seeing as the fact that I cannot afford to keep supporting her, yes she needs to "adult!" The principal at her last school told me in a meeting that she sees my daughter turning 40 years old, still living at home, not working, weighing over 300 pounds, and playing video games and watching TV all day in MY house! That's my worst nightmare! My best friend failed to thrive. She is 47 years old, doesn't work, has been living with her mom all these years, drinks alcohol every day, and doesn't drive. She has never gotten a driver's license. My daughter also refuses to learn how to drive. We live in a very big city. She MUST learn to drive sooner or later. I refuse to give her rides everywhere. My daughter has to grow up. Why is she fighting it so darned much?! [/QUOTE]
