[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 644188, member: 15473"] We would have done the same with difficult child had she not moved out half way through her senior year. Even after all that drama we allowed her to use her college fund and gave her a small amount of spending money. Nothing like we would have done had she not abused her priveleges. Of course she only passed one of two classes, dropped out, and moved in with a guy. difficult child doesn't know this but she is kind of earning her priveleges back. We have always said we would do as much as we could for our kids if they showed us respect and took advantage of the benefits. difficult child currently has two jobs. One is official (she got it yesterday) and the other is unnoficial. She is supposed to enroll in college for next semester part time as well. As long as she continues to work at least part time to pay for her car and enrolls in college/school then we will cover all her other expenses. in my humble opinion if she is doing all that then she is showing the maturity needed for growth and we will support it. Once she's done though she's got to go! LOL I think it will be a shock to difficult child how much we do for easy child when she goes to college. Especially if difficult child doesn't get her head on straight and earn those priveleges back. [/QUOTE]
