Parenting

well that's not true. She just told me tonight that she signed up for some free on-line courses. I'm very pleased. Free is good too. But she has a car, lots of talent and smarts, but no job and seemingly no ambition. She has been a year at home and seems happy too help around the house, have not friends except on-line, and just be. I'm trying to be patient, but soon I feel like I'm going to say, "hey, you need to throw in some money for that electricity your using, water, food, etc. your using" She is a great help around the house, but I want her to grow and learn.

She has always been shy, modest...but she is smart and very capable. When is pushing ok? How much do I push? Its not as though she doesn't earn what she gets here with all her help. Still, she needs to go forward. What do I do? I'm glad she is taking the courses, maybe she just needs the time.
