[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 268216, member: 1233"] Is she working? I know it is a hard blow - the loss of another set of dreams that you had for your child. Does she have a plan for what she will do if she is not in school? HAve you talked with husband about how long she can live with-you if seh is not in school or apprenticed somewhere? I ask because my parents said as long as we were in school we could live with them. We were expected to also have jobs. When my gfgbro flunked out of school my parents gave him a few months to get his act together and figure things out. But it became apparent that he was NOT doing either of those things - he just wanted to work a minimum wage job and live with them in their non-minimum wage lifestyle. He was finally told to leave - to go and live whatever lifestyle he wanted to foot the bill for. He came home 2 days later and said he was going to the Army. He served 2 years and it did help him grow up. Some. Sincey you now know she is not planning college, it is maybe time for you and husband to set some rules in place for this phase of her life under your roof. Just a thought. I do hope seh finds a job she can be fulfilled in and happy with. [/QUOTE]
