[QUOTE="ksm, post: 711639, member: 12511"] I didn't offer to just pay the fine. She would be forfeiting her graduation gift from us...visiting her other grandparents who live out of state and putting the money towards her fines. They have met once. Also her older brother lives near them. I am not willing to even do that, until she can find out what her tax refund will be. Even though she has an average IQ, she is in the bottom 13% for executive function and working memory. She doesn't function at the same level as her peers. She can stop by the house specifically to pick up an item, and then leave without it. I can tell her Monday night that I am fixing her favorite food, but she will forget to come Tuesday for supper. She needs an external brain, and right now, I am it. Most kids with a history of prenatal alcohol exposure have similar problems. It is comparable to a traumatic brain injury. Yes, I could let her fail, and sometimes I do. But somethings are worth helping her with. Ksm [/QUOTE]
