[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 494945, member: 6546"] I think this is the key portion of the agreement right here... How many of our difficult children would do anything in the world NOT to have their parents "in the know" ? They'd rather jeopardize their future, their security, their very lives - rather than conform to expectations. And you know what? He's an adult now...a[I]nd that is his choice to make.[/I] He doen't want your money if it means he has to have open, honest communication with you. Rather than trying to figure out alternate ways of foisting the tuition on him - I think you should let your terms stand. You've made an extremely generous offer...and if he's too bull-headed to accept it - that's HIS issue...not yours. [/QUOTE]
