I need help. I am desperate. My FSIL is 19 years old, and I have known her since she was 13. Once she started High School, she stopped going to school. SHe cut out almost every single day. At 16, she dropped out and passed her GED by one point.
SHe is always in trouble. Her ex boyfriend stole her mothers car keys and stole the car last June, we have had the police knock at our door (we live in the basement apartment) to tell us that one of her friends called 911 from her mothers apartment as a prank during one of her house parties, she has had about 6 jobs, but no longer than one month sat each becasue she can not wake up on time, and she will call in even as soon as her first week. She sleeps all day long, and when she wakes up, she is the biggest b*ithc, and you can't even talk to her until she is ready....
SHe has attempted college during 4 different semesters, and failed every single class with the exception of two. Her father had wasted so much money on her education, as well as teh poor guy has to pay for her COBRA beacsue she is not a fulltime student.
We are all responsible for teh way she acts becasue we have all contributed through the years to making her the irresopnsible brat that she is. But at 19, I was working a fulltime job for $6.00 an hour and a fulltime student... I know it's not right to compare, but I think if she is not in school, she should still hold some type of job...
Ok, so here is teh best part.
Since she was 17, she has worked on and off in my office. They let her go three times already, but when tehy are desperate, tehy bring her back for a day or two. I was able to get her an office job in teh company downstairs from me for teh same pay, and all she has to do is file and answer phones...
On Monday, one of teh girls in my office picked her up and drove here here. SHe was on time, and she did a great job.
On Tuesday, I woke her up at 7, and she was suppsoed to get picked up at 7.50. SHe fell back asleep (I have had to come in at 7.00 all this week, so I can't drive her...) and she missed her ride. SHe had to take car service, it cost her $30.00 and she was 45 minutes late.
Today, I woke her up at 6.45. SHe tells me taht she will be waiting fo rher ride at 7.40. I said did you tell Jennifer, the girl taht drives her, that you will be waiting for her and you need a ride? No, I was goign to call her now. Ok Lauren~that's a good idea considering she is doign YOU a favor. Our house is out of the way. So at 7.00 she calls and says she can't get her on teh phone. I try, I can't get her. I yell at her and tell her I am leavign my office and I will get her. Bear in mind, my office is a half an hour away from her house, and with traffic, it'll be liek 45 minutes. I don't even get a thank you!!! I get an OK!

At 7.15, my phone rings and it's Jennifer, who tells us that she spoke to Lauren three times yesterday, and Lauren never mentioned taht she needed a ride.
SO I drive back to work, where I am half an hour late.
I wouldn't care if she lost her job if I wasn't teh one to get teh job for her as a nice gesture from this company. We do a lot of work woth them, and I have a great relationship with them. HOW HARD IS IT TO JUST BE UP ON TIME!!!
Were any of you girls like this? How did you finally grow up??? I was also a terribel teenager, but I was also responsible and intelligent and did well in school and at her aga, I worked and I wasn't a burden on people.
How did you finally grow up? I am at teh verge of tears, this is putting a strain on Brian and I.
