For the most part I like my sd17. Except for the fact that she cannot take ANY responsibility for her life. Oh, she's failing Spanish? Me and her dad's fault. Oh she didn't do her laundry? Our fault.

Anyhow, she has a class project due early Jan. where she needs to job shadow someone. She mentioned it to DH in passing months ago. This man is insanely busy and he forgot about it (again, said in passing, not a lengthy conversation). Thankfully I remembered as her only opportunity to do so is Saturday (most of his work is classified).

Just for asking about it, I got screamed at. I told her point blank if she yells at me like she has been lately one time after she turns 18 she will be out on her ass. This is in a few weeks. Thankfully I have a dh who backs me up on this completely. I will not tolerate it, especially in front of my children. She's also lucky she's not my child because she would have been slapped if she was.
