[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 269775, member: 3419"] Nancy, I hear you and feel for you. I was like that the other day. I just went to bed. I have gone for long walks in the rain, too. Somehow, crying in the rain seems appropriate. Your daughter is close to 18. Things will change. She will be responsible for herself soon, for better or for worse. Tonight, my son served himself a bowl of chili. Left a gob of chili all over the stove, no big deal. I thought, when he's out of the house and in his own apt., it will look like this. He will never clean. There will be soda and beer cans all over the place. Bugs and cockroaches. He will plunk himself down in a comfy (filthy) chair and play video games. Not my problem. I know he will call me in a panic, beg me to clean. Nope. I'm planning it out already. I have WAY lowered my expectations. I am so sorry that your daughter is being such a PITA. I suspect my son will blow it when it comes to proms. I try not to think about it. Many hugs. [/QUOTE]
