Me and my wife feel that she is wasting her present and spoiling her future. Can any body guide me??

Even my daughter is like this. Of course she does not do any thing wrong only friends circle large and always somebody's birthday, left the job so send off like this. She says I am 24, I know what I am doing, I will not do anything wrong, believe me, this is the age to enjoy with friends. So leave her to her way, she will come around after some time. This is what my hubby told me.

Your daughter just wants a chance to be herself. She got a bachelor's which means that she has spent most of her time in school and surrrounded by her friends. I am assuming she still lives with you. Stear her into adult hood by letting her know that there are bills to pay and responsiblities that need to be taken care of. She is just trying to finaly enjoy her life. Don't be to hard on her and be proud not a lot of kids make it that far. So she is almost 3 quarters of the way there.

Hmm, I can't help you much with this, since I'm still single and haven't got any child yet. But I think you should try to talk to her softly, tell her that she should stick to a job, and ask her to eat well and also tell her not to come late home too often. That's what my mom told me, and since then I've controlled myself better then before. Hope this can help you.

Your daughter has managed to get through at least two years of college BEFORE she had kids got married signed her life away into a mundane and predictable future. I say sit back and YOU enjoy her life with her through her. She is far ahead of alot of girls her age. If she has gotten thus far resposibly planning ahead by getting that degree, she will come around when she's lived a little. congradulations on your successful daughter.
