Luckily, 27 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: I make a good income and we've never struggled financially. 28 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: I've tried to be there in my daughter's life for 29 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: as long as I can remember. 30 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 3: I attend all her parent teacher meetings, I'm. 31 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: Involved with her school, drop her off when she wants 32 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: to go with her friends, and I also do sports 33 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: and outing activities with her. Needless to say, I am 34 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: also cautious, but not quite a helicopter parent. I always 35 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: obtain proper information and do research before I drop her 36 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: off anywhere. She has her own room and as many 37 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 1: things as she could ask for. For the past two 38 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: years or so, my daughter has been acting up and 39 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: I honestly don't know why. 40 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 3: I seriously don't. Yeah, it's just one of those like, 41 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 3: you know. 42 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 2: I think it might be a product of having everything 43 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 2: that she can ask for. You know, if you spoil 44 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: your kids, that's actually when they turn against you. 45 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: And I can kind of see that Dad is like, 46 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: you know, here's this poor girl who doesn't Mom, I 47 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: have financial means, let me at least give her something. 48 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 2: And it like that back fires. My friend that backfires joints. 49 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 2: I know from all my years after having children. 50 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: It's my experienced fatherhood will tell you now. I suspected 51 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 1: this might be her new friend group. She often curses 52 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: really loud and says some pretty vulgar things from her 53 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: room when she's talking with her friends. I tried to 54 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: talk to her, but she has remained distant. She's also 55 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: developed an attitude and will frequently take things like my 56 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 1: expensive watch made of gold in my engagement ring from 57 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: my late wife, which I cherish very much.

I've asked 62 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: her why she takes these things to school and whatnot. 63 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: I was able to find out because it wasn't in 64 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: the right spot in my closet, and when I asked 65 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: her about it, she nonchalantly just said, yeah, just like 66 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: the casual teen that just doesn't. 67 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:58,239 Speaker 2: Just like whatever, whatever, whatever.
