Not often, but often enough to convince everyone that I'm not a complete bookworm with no common sense.<br /><br />Their Mother I think is finally coming around to my way of thinking. She's decided to take Little Sister off of her car insurance policy because her DWI raised the rates on her car and Mother doesn't want to pay it when she couldn't even pay it before. So I think she will start to learn quite quickly how much it sucks to pay for her mistakes.Chanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18159248995263246944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107542310136355575.post-83117828418529831312010-09-29T01:49:40.704-05:002010-09-29T01:49:40.704-05:00The navy?!?!

We'll see how that goes...<br /><br />Hopefully Little Sister will eventually have the chance to fend for herself for a while. It's got to be hard for Boyfriend and his family to watch her struggle so much, I can understand their perspective. However, I still agree with you, sometimes letting someone struggle is the best way to help them. Well said. :)Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845151308757943750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107542310136355575.post-81381356220407095062010-09-28T14:34:03.140-05:002010-09-28T14:34:03.140-05:00Yeah, jail really scared my sister.

She should be going back to school this semester, and if she actually does manage to graduate in the next year I'll be really proud of her.<br /><br />As for Little Sister, she says she wants to go into the Navy. It's laughable, and I'll be shocked if she actually does it after she gets the DWI and her jail time over and done with and can actually enlist. This is the same girl who can't get up before noon unless you stand over her and take the covers away. It's not that I don't believe she CAN do it, I just don't think she WILL. She doesn't really want to do anything, and that's terrible because she had all the opportunities and resources to do something, and she wasted them. I wish Boyfriend would be less indulgent. Sometimes the most important thing you can do for someone you love is let them fall down and get up on their own.Chanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18159248995263246944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107542310136355575.post-69320823142676635582010-09-27T22:21:21.340-05:002010-09-27T22:21:21.340-05:00Wow.

From what you're saying, I completely agree that Little Sister is never really going to learn how to take care of herself until her family can step back and let her pay the consequences for her own mistakes. (I know that's got to be hard to do sometimes.) Even then, she may never fully understand the full ramifications of what she does. <br /><br />I'm glad that your sister seems to be doing better so far as taking care of her own finances, though. Whatever the rest of her attitude towards the world might be, that seems like it's a big step in the right direction.Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845151308757943750noreply@blogger.com
