[quote=Anonymous]Girls are hard.  I don't know why people say sons are hard, because girls will get on your last nerve.

I get what you're saying.  But I am here to tell you that whatever you do, don't get in the way of her college plans.  Things change in the blink of an eye.  If you threaten to not provide the funds for college because you don't like her attitude, she might drop college plans.  And maybe never go to college, talent and ability notwithstanding.  If you think you're aggravated now, wait for the time when she's working at some dead-end job five years from now, hanging with people with all sorts of problems, and you can't do a thing about it.  You will want to tear your hair out, I promise you.

Tune out her bad attitude.  Grit your teeth and remind yourself she will be off to school and out of your hair soon enough.  Maybe down the road she will gain some maturity, her attitude will change and she will become more appreciative.  But these are the years that impact the remainder of her life.  So don't get in the way of her college plans, no matter how offensive and insulting she is.  I promise you, you will not regret it down the road.
