I have to have a bitch fit so here it is

[Raineyrocks]

Damn it!  It's my stinking birthday today and believe me this is a shitty one!  I happen to share my birthday with one of my daughters that is turning 18 today! 
Yup, 18!  The age where they think they have hit the friggin lottery and can just go move out and rent a condo in the Bahamas or something!  Today she is free from all the horrible protective things I've ever done to try to help her, yay, she's so happy and I'm so bummed!
3 days ago we got into a fight because I said she can't sleep over her ex-boyfriend's house, what a bitch I am!  So she had her suitcase packed, cat in cat carrier,(one of the only pluses I must add), standing by the front door.  Waiting to go where?  Who the hell knows!  I stopped her and we talked but I can already foresee from kid #1 and #2 that this is going to be such a fun friggin year for me!

A bitch fit is sooo much tidier than a shit fit. 

As for the 18 year old this too will pass.

Teach them how to make their own decisions... then step aside and let them be free to do just that.

...bitch fit and ensuing blues happily avoided

Oh, and... hope the rest of your birthday is wonderful!

Let her make her own decisions. You've done all that you can in raising her as best as possible....and now it is time to let her be her own person. I'm sure that it sucks for you though.

Otherwise -

Happy Birthday!!!!

When the wings flap its time to fly.

No matter what happens, let her know you love her and you will always be there for her.

just my opinion,

Today she is free from all the horrible protective things I've ever done to try to help her,

And today you are free from any obligation to feed her, clothe her, provide shelter for her, make decisions for her, or be responsible for her actions. The best way to convince a teen that they don't know it all, is to let them try to prove that they do.

Happy birthday to you. Hope it gets better.

Good points, thanks!  Great advice too!  You know what makes it scarier though are all of the stupid laws they have now that they really didn't have when I was a teenager so if she does something dumb who knows what could come out of it in these times?  Could/would she get tasered for something, who knows?
Thanks for the bday wish too!
