    Best thing my parents ever did for me was kick me out before I finished HS.

    Lol, not kicking her out. She’s a good kid. Now if she starts doing dumb stuff that’s different.
    I was active duty for 21 years. Don’t want that life for my daughter. Not with whose running the show these days.
     
    TheIncredibleBulk and okiedokie Thank this.

    Thank you for your service.
    The draft was alive & well during my stint.

    yeah no doubt it’s not a good option at this point in time for any kid, especially a female, anywhere.
    Best you can do IMO is keep them away from retail & restaurant work & nurture a skill set that requires govt certs, background checks & drug testing lol.

    I tell my daughter if she ends up on a stripper pole or knocked up before marriage I consider that a failure on my part as a parent. She tells me I needn’t worry. Then it’s followed by, but I could use some more money on my ATM card for this or that. Hope when she does get married it’s a guy with money.

    I

    It sounds like she's already doing dumb s..t and you're the one paying for it. I'm not saying you should kick her out but you *should* let her tote the note for the car she keeps wrecking AND pay her own insurance/ lawyer fees/ citations.
