She didn't need to go through that and you don't either. I remember telling mom I was working over and I was going to be late, (I worked at a local fast food place), and instead I was hanging out with older guys in the parking lot into the wee morning hours. Mom decided to go out and talk to me at work and she caught me hanging with them, and these were guys I KNEW I wasn't suppose to go anywhere near. They were only trouble. She basically told me to get my butt in my car and go home. She and I had to longest talk ever. It was Easter morning.  My younger brother was in tears and so was the rest of the family. I was letting everyone down with my attitude. I got my cell phone taken away, I had to ride the bus to school (that is what killed me the most), no going out, you name it. I basically went to school, work, then straight home. I deserved it. Ever since my mom and I talked we haven't argued nor have I sassed her. I'm also now going on 21 and very mature for my age. My mom and I are best friends. I'm sure this is just a phase and you and Lauren will grow to be the best of friends. 
I'm not sure what to say about the situation with your hubby. I wish he would understand where you are coming from. |
omgosh...its funny you said that about riding the bus to school. i was thinking bout telling her she could just leave the house 1/2 hour earlier than we do now and get up earlier and take the bus to school. I'll have to try that. She gets up sooo early now cause it takes her forever. Plus the bus will be cold and on rainy days it will be heck. Maybe I'll do that till she can start appreciating me.
