<p>So good to hear a happy update! We all make mistakes and this proved to be a good learning experience for her.</p>
<p>It’s a good lesson in two ways: first, don’t party before a big presentation and second, coming clean can help. </p>
<p>Great, fair outcome.</p>
<p>I’m glad it worked out.</p>
<p>I understand about those kinds of phone calls. My 23yo D did her taxes by herself this year for the first time, and after she had filed them she realized she left something out. So I got the crying phone call. She just wanted to know how bad it was and if she was in trouble with the IRS. It’s good we can be there to listen and be calm and reassure our kids.</p>
