[QUOTE="Seagal, post: 363186"] Terry I just had to laugh at your ending statement (and boy did I need that laugh). Guess what my daughter wants to major in, marine biology! Anyway, I have mentioned about the money and of course I get the look and then she stamps out of the room mad. The problem is the reasoning, she just won't listen. She thinks she'll be fine and won't listen to anything else. When I do try to make her understand, she thinks I'm saying she has no chance to get into college or do well. Her grades are improving, but between the school not following her 504 (another story) or giving her what she needed and 2 depressive episodes in 10th grade causing her to fail a semester each of 2 classes and forgetting to hand in work or late handing it in (bad executive function) her GPA is pretty low. Since all that happened, I put her in 2 programs this summer, one at a college to see how it would be and the other a marine biology program which I hope would not only help her to decide if she likes marine biology, but also to increase her chances of getting into college. She's mad I did that because it won't give her much time to do nothing this summer (she usually just watches TV on the weekends anyway during the school year and summer). I just can't win and boy does it hurt. Thanks though for your responses which makes me feel better and realize I should be more empowered over her! [/QUOTE]
