[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 586820, member: 1233"] That is how you budget in difficult child Land, DF. You don't have to work for money. Remember the therapist who worked with her? Since a therapist told her there will be money for her to do this, that and 12 other expensive things for college, because a scholarship will pay for it all. What scholarship? Who cares? The scholarship trees will have such an overabundant harvest that ALL difficult child freshman will get trips to Paris Fashion Week and an unlimited amount to spend all year long. The idjit therapist told her it was true, so it is. (remember the idjit therapist who tried to sign difficult child up for a bank account without you or husband involved in it? Yeah, that idit therapist. Hard to keep them straight sometimes, I know. Just like the sleepover/mall/party/ride/whatever plan of last weekend, difficult child's budget has NOTHING to do with reality. At least not the reality that the rest of the world lives in. Until she actually has to support herself on whatever she can earn, this isn't going to change. You have done everything you could to teach her the value of money, how to earn it, how to work hard, and all the other things we want our kids to know. [/QUOTE]
