I cant sleep cuz I forgot to text my daughter to make sure she's ok

@TwiddlerofThumbs that's my M.O. Trying to be better

@Nebula I can understand why. And since I don’t know the situation ( with being annoying) maybe it is better that you don’t. But if she let you know she was going out she should tolerate your wanting to know that she’s safe.

@TwiddlerofThumbs she has ger own apartment, in college

@Nebula. If she’s under the age of 25 do what you must to sleep. It really really is ok to care.
Even if she is annoyed.
My youngest is 25 and has lived on her own for a little over a year. If she lets me know she’s going out I take that as my cue to look in on her. Make sure all is well. She rarely does it now, but she knows I’m always here to check on her.
Some kids get annoyed, including mine. But... I must admit, I could care less if I annoy them. And they know it. We have a good relationship.
You’ve got to do what you must!

@TwiddlerofThumbs if I text her now and she doesnt text back, I will worry even more and it will get graphic. Thanks for saying that though. I dont think my daughter thinks Im annoying, just maybe she thinks I think she is incapable ov taking care of herself

@Nebula Being the mom is exhausting sometimes. Just let her know you that you want to make sure she’s home safe and to let you know that she got your text when she’s awake. The little things that show you care matter more than the inconvenience and presumed annoyance matter.
