WoooosaWhen you see those kinds of purchases rolling into the house and then get *told* about how your car will be used without any consideration about any plans you might have… Well it’s triggering. □ A sophomore in college and binge spending on slime. She recently ordered about $100 of slime. She is a good kid, but she is wildly immature. That conversation was several days ago, and I’m still struggling with Hope. There are still expectations of a curfew and I fully expect to be told where she’s going. We ain’t roommates that’s my car and she needed to ask to use it. I initiated a conversation about how I’m trying to give her space to develop some independence, but I needed her to reframe her declarations to requests. Hella irritated by these declarations brought on by Hope’s trying on of adulthood, I said no. She was going on an all day date (Oh really? Did we forget we were supposed to be experiencing the consequences of stupid decisions?) She was taking the car to go out on Friday. She was going to the outlet to shop for shoes (Ok, she really needed shoes). This week Hope announced her plans to me on a number of occasions. Since the ‘stupid games’ episode, Hope seems to have forgotten a number of truths: I no longer trust her because she lied. It’s normal it’s age appropriate, and I hate it. She has been testing limits in ways that are new. This last month of staying at home with Hope has been hard for me.
