So admist all this personal turmoil, I just found out I may lose my business in one month. Still holding my breath on that.....and on top of that DD1 is still home from college on Christmas break.
While I love her dearly, and it so nice having her here, she has got to be one of the most unorganized, unreliable people I know. She's never on time, can't find anything and rarely does what she is supposed to.
As someone who is always on time to a fault, mostly organized and a planner, this drives me absolutely NUTS. And since she is in college, I do not tell her what to do and when to do it anymore. She is an adult, it is up to her to get things done. But I hate to see her fail too.
So how do you let them be, but get them motivated? She has things she is supposed to be doing for her degree while she is here at home. She has done very little. How do you motivate them without nagging? I suppose I will just let her be....it is her life afterall. It's just hard, as a mom, to not say anything when you know things need done.
I did tell her when she came home for the holidays that I wanted her to leave her room the way she found it. Clean. Long story, but I am tired of cleaning her room out after she leaves. We'll see if she does that.....
