My younger daughter just announced that she wants to move in with her boyfriend. She did it in a way to make it sound like she was asking. But she wasn't asking.

I told her no.

But she's made up her mind.

Now my wife is upset with me because I'm not trying to talk her out of it. I'm watching TV. I'm on the computer. I've raised my daughter for 18 years. If my "no" doesn't mean anything to her in this matter nothing else I can say will either. Eighteen years of being there has come down to some 20 year-old knowing better than me. Again.

My older daughter broke my heart.

Now my younger daughter has too.
