We are having quite a time with our daughter right now. She is demanding that she go "away" to a state college after her senior year, and we say if she doesn't mature, she will go here in town for the first year. You can emagine how this is going over. My head hurts. She is a junior, so we do have time, and she has time to grow up, but I don't think that will happen anytime soon. Emotionally, she's around the age of 10, and my 13 yr old son would do better away at college right now than she would.
I really do feel for you parents, when I go to bed at night, I am emotionally drained! I don't know what part of the word "no", she doesn't understand. She will figure it out, someday! I just don't know when. Until then.....she will keep hearing NO NO NO NOnononononono.-L
