I am so glad that this is the last week of school. I am looking forward to some peace and quite.
Cheer - is still being a problem. She thinks that rules don't seem to apply to her.
She has this girl friend. I found out that her parents are separated and she seems to be one of the breadwinners for the family. She is 18 and has a job, but she seems to try to pull on everyone's heartstrings, including Cheers. She told her that she did not have money for gas and was going to loose her job. So Cheer (lost some brain cells) and let her use her ATM/credit card to put gas in her car. The girl went crazy and pretty much cleaned out her bank account.
I found this out, because I insisted that Cheer go on line with the bank and show me why she could not pay her car insurance, that is past due. I am so tire of reminding everyone in this family about their obligations. Every time I see one of my children, I have to remind one of them about what payment they have to make - car, insurance, phone.
I am the kind of person that likes to be in control of situations, but enough is enough.
Anyway, Cheer is now in even more trouble, and she doesn't seem to think that she did anything wrong. She said, she gave the girl permission to use her card, and the girl is going to pay her back this weekend. - Yea Right.....
I am just beside myself. She has to have her job, she has so many obligations - that she has gotten herself into, that I can;t insist that she quit her job.
I was so mad, that I could not sleep - 2:00 am close my eyes - 6:00 am, back up for the day.
I am headed for the Coffee pot.....

One of the hardest things is letting them learn from their mistakes. When (if) the girl doesn't pay Cheer back, then she'll learn her lesson from it.
Sigh. Being a parent is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.
Hugs, I love you.
