Hmmm.....I need some guidance on how to handle this. Hilde just came and asked me when I thought she would be able to resume her early morning activity. Please understand that this is a very positive activity with a great deal of structure and requires a lot of self-discipline to excell at. Hilde does excell at this activity, is considered by the adults in charge to be a bright star and one of the leaders among her participating peers. She has earned several awards in this activity and helped her team win trophies. This is something that could provide money for her to go to college. I am very supportive of her doing this activity; it is just that I do not get out of bed at 5:30 in the morning to drive people who are rude and disrespectful to me.
So I told her that, and when I did she apologized. lol
She wanted to know if she would be allowed to go if she could find another ride. I told her I didn't know, but would think about it. I told her she is not grounded from drill, but I just don't want to drive her anymore because of the way she has treated me. So she said okay and walked away.
So do you all have any thoughts on her riding with someone else if she can find another *parent* who is willing to get up even earlier than they already do to come pick up my rude daughter? That sounds laughable, but I am sure she would be able to charm someone into doing it for her. Another mom picked her up all last winter because I could not get Joy out that early and thought I was getting ready to adopt a SN toddler in the fall when the whole thing started (that adoption did not work out).
