[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 37094, member: 1161"] Short of taking her to Vancouver and having her live in an apartment she could afford on a fast food salary, I don't know what you can do to get her to understand what the real world is like. I don't think I could afford to live in Vancouver on my salary as an office manager LOL, at least any place half decent. She's at the age where all teens think they know everything and they can go it on their own and the world will give them everything they want for the asking. Add in gfgness and it's doubly hard. Too bad there isn't a high school class, where you give the kid a fast food type job and salary, and an apartment that fits that salary, and have them live there a month alone paying all the bills, groceries, clothes etc. etc. I think it might give even a difficult child an inkling of what real world living is like on your own without high school diploma, and even secondary training of some kind. Hope you can get her to see that her dad's is the best option right now for her future. [/QUOTE]
