[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this just typical 'soiling the nest' talk you'd let it slide or would this really hurt you?

Flew across the country to DD's college to see her last sporting event of the season. Asked her in advance to spend Friday night through Saturday morning with me for dinner and to visit elderly family member (my uncle) via train. Things were going well, then after a slightly sarcastic comment, DD snapped, "You're lucky I'm here. I'm a college student. I'm giving up my Friday night to do this with you."

If it's relevant, we pay for her room, board, tuition, all of her bills, car when home, all of her flights including a flight to spend with her boyfriend over Thanksgiving break instead of your family, which she told me about a few hours the above scolding. She's a very strong student-athlete, had a summer internship last summer and already has one for summer 2026.[/quote]

Not sure how the last sentence is relevant. Is she somehow excused from entitled behavior because she has good grades and an internship?

I figured readers would wonder if she works and has any money of her own. She works in the summers and has some money of her own but certainly not enough to sustain her lifestyle.[/quote]

I don’t think that’s why you included that tid bit of information. Like most parents you want to believe that because she has good grades, she’s a good person.
