[quote=Anonymous]She is doing well in her classes, has a job (very pt), likes her roommates well enough, but is constantly calling, every single day, asking what she should do about this or that, complaining about everything: professors, classes, work, how she doesn't have anything to do or friends to do things with. We've encouraged her to join clubs. She goes in a half-ass way and decides not to commit, saying she doesn't like the people, it's too much of a commitment (two times a week is what she thinks is too much...). I listen to her vent but don't always validate complaints because some are ott and too much, and at this point I have really stopped encouraging her to get out and do things because the response is always "I don't want to because of x, y or z." Anyone have a child who got out of this negative cycle eventually, or is she set for just always complaining? [/quote]
