Thanks. It' one of my favorite posters. She's such a drama queen.
I think she's taking her daughter's budding independence way too personally. She's probably been a hoverer over that child her entire life and she just wants some space. Not to mention if things are so bad in that house between her and her husband, didn't she ever figure the child would want to leave at some point?
I don't know, I just think her daughter is in the know it all, independence phase.if she truly is ungrateful as gb says, she'll quickly discover other people have rules and conditions too--even grandma. As for greenbrier, she needs to stop being so damn offended because her daughter is going through the same phase that 90% of other adolescent girls have gone through. I think what really offends mother like her sometimes is that her kid is not as special as she thought--she goes through the same stages, discontentment, growth, etc as any other kid.
I almost get the impression gb is pissed because her kid has not adequately bowed in approval at her mother's sacrifice to raise her

What exactly did gb sacrifice? Material things? Nope. a career? nope. a good life? nope. Hmmm...your daughter thinks you are a dumb adult...guess that doesn't make greenbrier any more special then any other parent of an adolescent out there either. lol
