Today, my daughter asked me the difference between "their" and "they're". This is the same child I've been spending thousands of dollars on to send to law school. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I learned that my daughter pocketed the money I'd paid so she could go to college. FML
Today, my second-grade daughter asked her teacher how much money she makes. FML
Today, my daughter is mad sulking because she got her first wage today and learned a bunch of new words like national insurance, pension contributions, taxes, automatic student loan repayments, and so on. She actually thought she got to keep ALL the money she earned, and is taking it out on us. FML
Today, my daughter asked me if we could adopt a child. I said no, since we can't afford to support another child. She then asked me if she could just adopt another dad instead. FML
Today, I learned from my daughter's teacher that she has been wearing the same shirt for the past few weeks, ever since we had a fight about how I don't pay attention to her. FML
Today, my idiot daughter is sat next to me crying because she took her ex to court for child support, convinced she was gonna get paid, even though her kids live with their dad full time. Now she's paying HIM child support and can’t afford her flat anymore, so she wants to move in with me. FML
Today, my daughter, whom I consigned a credit card for, told me she was in a bit of financial trouble. It turns out that she was trying to pay off her credit card with the same credit card her bill was for, and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. FML
Today, my daughter has spent the last few hours moaning that the boy she’s known since they were 4 years-old got a girlfriend instead of asking her out. She’s known him for almost 20 years. If she liked him all that time, she should have asked him out herself instead of moaning at me. FML
Today, my daughter and her "friend" kept using crude euphemisms right in front of me, thinking I was too old or too stupid to figure out what they meant. I nearly had an aneurysm when she told him he could put his "pencil" in her "sharpener" next time they studied together. FML
Today, my daughter is such a greedy idiot. Her ex was voluntarily giving her over £1000 for the kid but she decided she wanted more, and dragged him to child support court. She’s now only getting about £500 and her ex, who formerly had a great relationship with her, now hates her guts. Idiot. FML

one who asks questions is foolish for five minutes, one who doesn't is foolish forever

Well she's not great with vocabulary. It's not like her entire career will be predicated on reading documents and understanding their vocabulary to win arguments and cases... Oh wait! It is.

Send her to a school in a foreign country for a while. Nearly all of them teach -and explain- to kids the grammar of English (this precise point is grade 7 level where I am).

could be that she just wanted to double check if she did understand the difference between the two. like sometimes I think I know how to spell a word but I'm not 100% sure, so I ask.

And see parents, this is why it's important to read to your kids and not just throw money at them

This is why you do not assume your kids are going to become someone you want them to be.

Just cause she asked the difference doesn't mean she's not smart... You're pretty stupid if she's gonna be a lawyer and is smart enough to get into the program and think its bad that she doesn't know the difference.. How old is the kid anyways? :/ -__-
