[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh your mentality is garbage.  [b]Her job in life is not to make you proud.[/b]  Just love her, support, and encourage her the best you can.[/quote]

No. You are wrong. Whether or not we admit it publicly, that is our kids’ jobs. My immigrant family would agree with that. [/quote]

Op here. A lot of feedback… No it’s not her job to make me proud, I’m not asking her to become a doctor! Just show some initiative for anything! 
I’m just asking, if you kid age 21 dropped out of college, barely scrapes by community college part time, works a job part time and has zero other interests other than TikTok in spare time, are you supposed to tell her you’re *proud* of her?

And to answer a couple other questions, 
I just said partner, but yes, he’s my husband.
My other child launched just fine. 
To be honest, it’s kinda hard to tell how she did in high school. She was doing great up until Covid in the middle of grade 10, then yes she got good grades, but everyone did and the bar was quite low to get an A and she had grade inflation for sure. She blew off a lot of stuff but still seem to manage to do fine. She did get a 1300 on her SATs so there is intelligence there. 
Yes she has Add and is medicated. She’s responsible her medications. [/quote]
OP, you just continue show your a**[/quote]
