[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well I am trying to do stuff for her. And her special event and our upcoming international trip. I think parents should have a way to reach their own child.

She is 26 years old.

I am really over this.

They want to be treated like adults, so should step up and act that way.

I have a kid like this, if she doesn't respond to you by the time you need to make decisions, make them without her. It's a great learning experience. Yes she will be unhappy etc. but she will also learn  why it's important to respond in a timely manner. I did this w my 20 YO on a vacation..gave ample time to respond on choices etc. We made them without her. She then responded with deets of her requirements and guess what...too bad, we made the decision..you had all the info, we asked for your input and nothing so deal with it or don't go.[/quote]
Just do this and stop texting so much. Don’t be punitive or resentful. If she complains about choices made just neutrally reply that you asked for her input and she didn’t respond.  When there’s a deadline for a response, make it clear. Ask one time. [/quote]
