[QUOTE="Andy, post: 183602, member: 5096"] Terry - Thank you :) I just looked on line to try to find what she had looked at - couldn't find it so it is back in her hands - she has made more contacts since and can not get the answer SHE wants. She is finally "seeing" that mom is right - (but don't let mom know that!) - When she called me to tell me what I had been telling her, I ended up hanging up on her because apparantly I am retarded. Funny, I didn't think the 1st person to understand something was normally labled retarded. LucyB - Thank you! :) She was looking at Northwestern in St Paul - I believe there is a curfew there. I have always hated the thought of dorms so she has grown up with my negative view on them. Now that I have decided that it may be what she needs, she will not go with it. We do have a community college in our town but she wants to be available for her babysitting jobs - One started in March and the one for her god child started in July or August. She did very well with independent studies during 12th grade. I just wonder how she will find time for on line if she babysits daylight or from the moment she gets up which may be 1:00 in th afternoon to night fall and runs all night? I suppose from 7:00 pm unitl 11:00 pm when she starts running? We have told her she needs to take a full load to be considered a student on our insurance. Insurance is very important to her - she does have a medical issue that she will not be able to afford if she is not on our insurance. I am using that to keep her motivated. I have also told her that she needs to move out since her life is none of our business. Where are you going? "None of your business" Have you done this yet?
