Is it normal my daughter is being terribly disrespectful and whiny?
I keep on trying to tell her to do things but she doesn't care. She does it whenever she feels like it, not when I tell her to.
I've told her to wash the dishes but she always waits an hour before she bothers to do them, and doesn't care how many times I tell her to.
Whenever I remind her that this is MY house and I pay the rent and I make the rules, she gets mad at me!
Worst of all, she talks back and tells me I'm being a hypocrite. I am working so hard and doing so much but that doesn't matter to her. Why should I have to listen to her?
I am the one that needs more respect, not her.
I have been trying to make her act more respectable but she thinks she can act totally independent of me and what I ask of her.
EDIT:
Apparently she doesn't even know what she is going to do for college. She wants me to use my money to pay for her education and she doesn't even have the slightest idea as to what she is doing.
She has so much potential, and she is going to waste it.
I was always there to make sure she did well in school, that she passed all her tests and that she took advanced classes, and this is what she does with it. She doesn't even want to get a nice high paying job like a lawyer or an accountant because it's "boring."
Well life isn't fair, so you should be grateful to have a chance at such a good job. Stop complaining and take what you've been given.
If she continues on this path I am not going to let her rob me of my time and money. If she doesn't like the way I run things then she is going to have to deal with college alone.
I will cut off all financial ties and force her to live on her own. If she proves that she can do something with her life then she can come back.
If not then have fun trying to convince your father to help you.
