[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's too early to claim she has no work ethic. I think she's pushing back on boundaries - ones which you emphasize thew most. First, reread your post- it seems like this is all about you. How you have sacrificed, and how you are depressed and worry that she's blame YOU later. But it's not about you; it's about her and her future. Second, she's getting to an age where all your pushing isn't going to do much good anyway. She can make her own choices about how much she studies, etc. In your shoes I would take some time to decide a few baseline expectations (A 3.5 GPA, one extra curricular, whatever), explain them to her and what the consequences will be for achieving or not achieving them will be. Then I'd let the rest be up to her. DO NOT get on her about homework on a daily basis or the results of her test. I'd let her drop the language and drop music if she hates it. There's no point if making her do it if she's dug her heels in.[/quote] Wow! Excellent![/quote]
