[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 359108, member: 9175"] Boy, do I know how you feel. My difficult child is an only child and her dad and I worked hard on raising her to be unspoiled. When it comes to "things", she really is pretty good. She never expected (or wanted) to wear the name brands, She claims to be the "last teen on earth" to have gotten a cell phone (we had the gall to make her wait until she was a HS freshma!). But now... she dropped out of college with-out warning us and took off with a guy she'd met on the internet ...three weeks prior. She went from VA to NC with him and we did manage to get her back home and we told her she had to have a job and be on her own before she could run off and play house. She now expects us to help her buy a car. She does not have a job. Hasn't looked for a job, has about 2,300 in the bank (which we are not allowing her access to right now) and expects a CAR. No, my dear, I am very sorry. It doesn't work that way. She just moved in with-me after living with dad for a few months following her little incident. I told her it's time to get a job and THEN we can talk about a car. Sigh. If I had rental property, she'd be eyeing it, too. She actually thinks she can get a job and move right into a three bedroom apartment. Where do they get these ideas? It's not like she was handed whatever she wanted her whole life. Quite the opposite. [/QUOTE]
