[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 461296, member: 1233"] None of us do it right all the time every time. Just like our kids have to make mistakes and learn, so do we. We are still learning how to be parents of kids of whatever ages our kids are, so we will make mistakes. You didn't fall for her game and give her cash the way she expected. Does she act like she even has any desire to do this course? I know that you want her to because it could help her, but her actions are not saying she wants it. Consider that instead of sending messages asking if she wants this or that, simply send her one saying that if she intends to take this course, she must tell you by X date (date of your choosing that would let her enroll with-o causing you difficulty). Include in the message that if you don't hear from her by X date then the course is not an option and you won't bring it up again. It would be a way to let her know that this is the time frame and you will accept her choice. If she chooses to not tell you by the deadline, then it is HER problem and not one you need to sort out - she had a very reasonable, doable chance. That is all we can give them. [/QUOTE]
