I am becomming my parents!!!!!!! It is quite a shock being 27 and living with a 17 year old that hasn't had the cleanest slate. Things that I think are common sense come to find out are not so common!!! General respect isn't that general. Dave's daughter however very kind hearted never ceases to amaze me. And the thing that is even more astonishing is knowing that when I pulled similar things when I was 17 my parents reactions are what I am doing now. Comments that I tell her are the same things that came from my parents mouths, and I rolled my eyes at, and yes the reaction is still the same. Tonight I found myself putting clothes that were left in the washer and wet, in the garage to freeze. She had 8 hours of notice to get them out, I am not that evil. A few months ago when she refused to come help with dinner, I refused to let her eat the dinner I had prepared. I knew that my parents ingrained many things in me growing up, but I didn't realize that their parenting techniques were one of them, however I think that I might have improved on a few, I will now serve her dinner on her dirty dishes she refuses to pick up. I have refused to replace the toilet paper roll for her, instead wake her up yelling at 6 am when it is empty that I need more, even if I don't. More to come.
