[QUOTE="Coookie, post: 132248, member: 1587"] Well here is my .02, or what we did with our difficult child. :) When he came home in December he was told he would be looking for a job right away, or deciding to go to school. husband and I had already agreed that we would help him, for chores done, until he did one or the other and that is what we did. He kept filling out applications daily and was honestly trying to find a job... and then he did. :) He did some big chores, ones that husband and I just REALLY did not want to do... like cleaning the basement. BLECH and we paid him accordingly. He, of course, wanted payment before the job was done (in true difficult child style) but that didn't happen. :) I guess my advice would be this... If you are sure that she is honestly trying then help her... if you have any doubt then don't. :) Tough call, we are so thrilled with any sign of responsibility that we tend to reward to the extreme sometimes... at least we did... in the past... :) Hugs [/QUOTE]
