[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 482345, member: 1233"] Nancy, I know that at some point you know the $ has to stop, but right now she seems to be at least trying to do what she needs to do. She didn't try to scam you, she didn't try to scam someone else or claim that you did something to her that will cost her $$ and will they help her because y'all are so awful, and she didn't try dipping her toes into drug dealing, stripping, or "favors" for $$ (around here many of the college girls think it is okay to have a "one night stand" and have that person "help you out" with money that neither of you expects you to pay back, or even for clothes, shoes, purses, access to the fraternity test bank - don't ask me to go into that, college town thing - etc.... in my opinion it is prostitution, but the girls don't seem to want to think that. Heck, the cops here call it prostitution, but the kids say they are just "being friends". She is just 20. Her brain isn't done growing yet. the $50 was a lot more reasonable than $90, esp as she will be home for several days. She was honest with you, which is a good thing. Lots of us had to call home for $$ at that age sometimes. I know she hasn't fully embraced the program the way you would, but she is doing a LOT of good things, so I would let this slide. Esp as her behavior with you has been very appropriate. I think it would be different if she was 3-4 years older, or had a child. As it is, sh eis in a place that isn't easy right now (emotionally) and a little extra support isn't a bad thing. I do think that maybe gift cards would be a better thing, if you can work that out. If nothing else, maybe a reloadable visa card? I know they have a fee for each time you load them, but it is still better than cash. [/QUOTE]
