How do we get this to stop?
“I know I will slip at some point and it seems like he will be upset about that.”Our 17-year-old daughter, like many of her peers, had a rough high school experience. She lost much of grades 10 and 11 to COVID online schooling, and we moved to a new country midway through grade 11, so she had to start over socially during a pandemic. She’s just graduated high school, and will be at college several hours away in the fall.
And of course, in a couple of months she’ll be living away from home, and we’ll have no idea what she’s up to. But right now, those are feeling like a long sleepless couple of months. She’s looking for a summer job but doesn’t have one yet, so there are no big daytime commitments to moderate her schedule.
