[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: I want to stress I am easy going and I would be the first to let her relax a bit once college letters were received. Most of her friends have their college plans handled. She does not and I reminded her of that frequently. I honestly think she was/is unable to grasp that her friends could afford to lay off the gas and she couldn't.[/quote] Her prefrontal cortex is not yet completely formed. Kids that age do not yet understand the long-term consequences of their actions. I'm sorry you are dealing with this, OP. It must be extremely stressful. I would not punish her though. I can't see anything good coming from you punishing her. She has to accept the consequences of her decisions, bad as they may be, and dig herself out of this hole. Let her do it, and step back unless she asks for help. Best of luck to both of you. [/quote]
