[QUOTE="Andy, post: 293311, member: 5096"] Thank you! It is just so frustrating when you can see a clear answer but your child refuses to accept it and refuses to look for a Plan B. If I could win that million dollar lottery than she can follow this dream. However, she has to learn that $$$ rules the world and if you don't have it, you don't have it. Diva just turned 19 years old. She has never been a good student - one of those smart kids who could do very well IF she put her mind to it. However, she only wants the easy way out and not willing to put in the work needed to reach a goal. Another reason we are not jumping for joy that she wants $18,000 per year for anything. She has not proved that she will live up to that responsibility. She has already failed on-line classes and has shown no intentions of even trying to get good grades, just the bare minimum to get by if even that. The food thing was for last night and today while traveling. She needed to purchase a few meals and then her aunt and uncle will take her out to eat tonight before her 3 hour drive home. She is 19 years old so there is only so much I can do. She has to decide for herself what she wants to do and we are more than happy to help her within our financial ability. I wish there was some photography classes in town that she can take for reasonable costs. Unfortunately, our local college has nothing to offer in the area of electives or serious art classes to get her started. It is not the photography we are opposed to, it is the cost of $18,000 per year. Like every other student, she has to find something within our budget to pursue. I really wished there was a photography program out there that wasn't so incredibly expensive. Unfortunately, her interests are so limited at this point. I will talk to the person she is traveling with next week and maybe that person can encourage her to make some plans for this fall. If those plans are not what I spelled out to her, I really don't care. I just found the only classes that I thought she would benefit from to follow her working with children goal. If she can find something she would rather do within the budget we gave her, she is more than free to do that. [/QUOTE]
