Hear What You Want - Communication Breakdown Part 2

Yet another case of he said, he said. Really makes you wonder who's saying what. Megan has been telling me for weeks that when her father came into town for her graduation he was going to order her car for her. (I'll discuss my feelings on this later). This information was according to her uncle (I see a pattern happening here). So when Megan finally talks to her father about it he says he never said that (another pattern perhaps?). So now Megan is mad at her father and her uncle.

So lets break this down - Megan is EXPECTING her father to buy her a car. Okay - she may have a point since he did it for her two other sisters. Of course, I have problems with the whole thing for many reasons - one being it leads all of them to expect him to do this kind of stuff all the time. And when he doesn't they get mad. But a bigger issue I have with this is it teaches them ZERO responsibility, ZERO appreciation, ZERO work ethic. And it definately doesn't improve the lines of communication between Megan and her father if she's always calling him about something money related. I don't know how many times I have told her - she needs to call just to call.
