[quote=Anonymous]OP I don't think she's entitled or anything...I think first sympathy that you "hear" that it's hard for her etc, and then a gentle reminder that you all are having a hard time, and the important thing is we all do our part to make living with each other easier, so we don't catch each other's bad moods. And for this message, timing is everything. Also, at another time, maybe this could be said while in a joking banter (bc she's more likely to hear it that way): Every generation gets screwed out of some normal experience. Other generations were asked to forgo college to go to war so we could survive. We are being asked to sit on the couch so we can survive. We all have to buck up a little here. (note how I didn't say "you" at the end...I put in "we" even though you are talking about her and college) Just to both soften it and get in there how everyone in the household is sucking it up)[/quote]
