[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 15178, member: 1967"] I met difficult child for lunch today at the mall. As we ate, she told me that she was going to Chicago for spring break. I told her that sounded great and asked her how she could afford to go. She replied that one of her roommates' aunt worked for an airline and could get them five buddy passes so all she would have to pay for was her food. I then asked how she could afford a week off of work and still be able to pay her bills that month. "Gee, I hadn't thought about that." [img]:hammer:[/img][img]:smile:[/img] Overall, the day was nice. We went window shopping after we ate. I told her that I was proud of her for going to the technical college and checking into a diploma program. She seemed pleased with the praise. I also told her how proud I was that she was working, living on her own, and paying her bills. "Yeah, and I haven't even asked you guys for money lately." I told her that I was aware of that and it showed that she really was functioning as an independent adult. So she got a big grin and . . . drumroll please . . . asked, "So, will you buy me something?" Some things never change. But I do see some positive changes in her. Keep your fingers crossed that she keeps moving ahead. She has an appointment next Tuesday with the financial aid counselor to discuss the GA Hope grant. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
