Thinking on this, I believe I am right in my stance, but I do need to find a way to get my D back engaged. I am leaning more on the allowance side, with a twist. Maybe giving her the opportunity for her to work for me 4-5 hours per week. She would come to the office once or twice a week in the afternoons. Work on some social media stuff for my company, and I'd pay her. It would give her the opportunity to put her skills to work and improve them, earn some money, and give her a chance to see her father outside of the home situation interacting with other adults in the world. It will also give her some perspective on the working world and some great self-esteem building as she would be earning her money as opposed to the entitled attitude she believes presently.
That sounds like an excellent idea!
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
