[quote=Anonymous]Disengage, OP. You really have to tone down your emotions and stop battling with her. As of today, she does her own laundry, packs her own lunch for school, and keeps track of her own practice schedule. If she has a dirty uniform, so sad, too bad. She asks you (politely!) for a ride when it's needed. You tell her what time works for you, and let her get herself ready by that time. If she wants to watch tv for 28 minutes and can get ready in two minutes, great. No need to fight over the remote control. But if she watches tv for 28 minutes and then takes 15 to get ready. Oh well. Maybe you have something else to do and you can't drive her any more. Or if you can, she's the one who is late and has to deal with her coach. But stop the drama and the power plays. This is the time when she has to start learning real world consequences to her actions.[/quote]
