[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 412488, member: 84"] This was the only thing that was super easy for me. I've always had a huge issue with why parents feel the need to pay for their adult child's college education to begin with be they pcs or difficult children. So I knew from when my kids were tiny I'd never even consider paying for their college. If they wanted college it would be up to them to find the ways to pay it and get it done. I have problems shelling out enough money for a new car each year on a child's education that I have no control over whether they even go to class or not. Know what I mean?? My kids knew that while I taught them college is important, they would be responsible for the bill. When they got old enough to start searching........they had to do that whole process themselves, filling out forms, hunting scholarships and grants ect. Even Travis managed to do it, it just took him longer. This way they are responsible for their own education, the bills for that education. As it should be since they're considered adults by everyone except the college financial dept. ugh Step is right, I'm afraid. difficult child's will always blame you or someone else for their own failures to follow through. Working for his education would be a good thing for your difficult child. Keep him busy when he doesn't have school work to keep him busy. Plenty of loans, grants, and scholarships to help fill in the gaps. Hugs [/QUOTE]
