[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people respond to years-old posts, especially on timely issues like this? This girl is probably well into college by now, if not done.

Although I would be curious to hear from OP what the ultimate outcome was.[/quote]

Because it's a relevant issue for many parents regardless of the date it was posted. Here I am, a single mom, who is right now facing this dilemma and I am grateful to have found this online and wanted to give my input. It's 2023, and look this applies to me. It gives me some insight. I've read every page and I am appalled at the lack of support for the OP the MOM who is obviously at her wits end frustrated and disappointed and all I read was guilt tripping, blame, and gaslighting. Weak talking points ohhh you're gonna scar her for life... WEAK. Life has consequences. Don't you think that a mom has tried and tried before she gets to the point of cancelling xmas? Bc I know I have. I am emotionally drained and tired. Nobody thinks about the mother who is doing the work of trying to motivate the kid and get them on the right track. It is absolutely overwhelming. Really disappointed at the level of blaming, and lack of support for OP in the responses. I am writing this ON Christmas Day 2023. I really think that's kinda cool :)

This post applied to Me, NOW. TODAY. Do you get what I'm saying? [/quote]
