    Yah, kids, the world is their plum, they just don't realize it. I have a daughter 22, seems everytime I turn around I'm giving her a motivational speech, It's wearing me out. Hang in there.

    Be nice if I could get in a speech of any kind. She only speaks to us when she wants something.

    We're letting go. She knows how to find us if she ever really wants us in her life. She's been put on notice that while we're here if she needs/wants her parents, we aren't at her disposal for every perceived emergency as we have our own lives. She's really derailed us for no good reason. Now it's recovery mode for us.

    Good news is The Hot Chick was able to re register for classes in spring quarter.

    What's wrong with kids these days? They move out and think they know everything, I have a daughter in college too, and I worry about her all the time because she doesn't communicate that much with us since she moved out.

    Yeah, mine seems to have rejected everything I (and The Hot Chick) ever stood for or tried to teach her. And thrown us out of her life.

    Hence the letting go part. She's (technically) an adult now and responsible for her own decisions. Perhaps someday she will realize that her trust fund hipster squad doesn't know everything and that I'm not the insensitive bigoted monster they seem to have told her I am.

    It is a tough time for you and The Hot Chick but speaking from experience, she will be back. It is part of the frustration of being a parent. My father told me long ago that once you become one, you are a parent until the day you die.
     
    Captain Zoom, mitrucker and TB John Thank this.

    does that mean your not a right wing nut job?
    my son with a masters degree thinks he is smarter then me even thou I paid for it I suppose he is right.
    His younger brother was a roadie and got drum lessons from the Drop kick Murphy's last year because I am friends with the lead singer but what does a dumb old truck driver know
