[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are dealing with a couple of issues here. If she wants you to make an appt and then goes, doesn't leave, and refuses the times you find, she can handle it herself. If she's busy in class and you book and she goes and follows through, that seems ok. She will have to handle in college. [/quote]

She's a senior and had an exam this am and now she's been done for a couple hours. [/quote]

Dear Lord, lay off for a minute. She needs to decompress. If she was in terrible pain, I guarantee she'd hustle.

My son is 20 and has autism and ADHD. I still make some appointments for him if he's busy, because we're on the same insurance, same doctor. He makes his vaccines appointments, as they're near his campus. It's no big deal. In a pinch, I know he can deal with it himself. He will study abroad next fall, and I know he'll be fine.

In general, I found this out to be true for chores and certain life skills: you don't need to start early. I taught my son how to do laundry right before he went to college, and he had no trouble at all. There is practically no learning curve to such things.

I feel your anger is mostly an expression of your anxiety, but you don't need to worry about this, really.
