Thank you for the encouragement, Janet. I've just got a lot on my mind right now. We are trying to counsel our daughters and they just don't get it. We're having some responsibity issues and they think it's all about money. UHHHH!! My husband says that they just don't listen to the ones who changed their diapers. He's right. Why did they have to grow up???? Things were so much easier when.....

The weather is supposed to be better tomorrow, 20 degrees warmer an sunny. That will help a lot, and perhaps I can get my mindset back on going to the gym and eating better.

I get ya there Marilyn, it was easier when.......

We drew up a contract for my son as far as responibilities here at home and with his driving and what the conseqences were if not followed. We sat and discussed it, told him there was room for compromise, but once signed that was it. He agreed with it and signed it so there was so confusion or "I don't remember that."

It is all signed, by us and him, he has a copy hanging on his bedroom bulletin board and we have a copy with our legal papers.

Sometimes they just need to see everything in black and white for it to make sense to them, otherwise they think we are just nagging. I hope you can make them understand.

Thanks Janet, but in our family if I tried to do something like that they would all roll their eyes, even hubby. I'm glad it works for you. Here, we just have to keep chipping at it.
