My 29 year old, who lives with me...has not grown into the responsible and priority driven person I had hoped. To get her assistance around the house is like pulling teeth and the constant "I'll do it...", yet IT never gets done.

She was stubborn and argumentative and whiny and just would not listen to me even though I was only trying to do what was bets for her. It was so tiring! She is on the mend and did take some of my advice/urging after all. It is pretty surreal because my Mom is not actually old enough t really NEED me...I think it is her German ancestry and behaviors mixed with my father's stoic Norwegian bachelor farmer approach to things (of course he did not come from a bachelor).Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11904564712432173588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211543031504081746.post-36827644623947085172009-06-14T21:38:50.836-07:002009-06-14T21:38:50.836-07:00It's always a challenge with teens.

LOL<br />I try really hard to remember how I'd lock myself in my room for hours with my radio and the phone, I had my own extension and then my own line when dad found out he could not get any phone calls with me home. I was hoping they'd just forget me and let me live my life. <br />I think I am so much cooler than my parents were.................right?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129662082248482002noreply@blogger.com
