[QUOTE="ksm, post: 587020, member: 12511"] It always amazes me what difficult child thinks she can afford. She does have a baby sitting job every other week and makes about $30 a week. Most the time it is spent on Monster drinks and candy. Yesterday she decided that she and her sister should try the ziplines that are advertised here where we are on vacation for spring break. After all, she found a $5 off coupon. So I let her call and it was $72 a person. Even she was shocked! She has grandiose dreams of turning 18, renting a place in the country where she can have horses and lots of cats and dogs. Right. She gags if she has to scoop the litter box at home! When I put a damper on it that it wasn't feasible to afford that... she replied, well I'll marry someone and he can work and I can afford to stay home with all the animals. So I asked "who's going to muck out the barn?" OH! her husband will do all of that for her! Life. It is going to be a rude awakening for most our difficult child's who think they will turn 18 and be on their own, and have a sporty car, nice clothes, eat out when ever they want, and afford nice vacations.
