[QUOTE="Genny, post: 34872, member: 95"] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">First semester she was on acedemic probation, now second semester her mother funded her tuition of $10,000.

Just because he is her biological father doesn't mean he is obligated to help a demading, disrespectful girl who also happens to be failing! It sounds to me like she's more interested in the rich-kid social scene than she is in actually getting a college education. We had to institute a strict policy with our difficult child - anything she [i] [/i] demanded [i] [/i] was an automatic NO. If you want something from anyone in this world, you'd better be respectful and appreciative. Parents are no exception. She is 18 years old, therefore her parents aren't legally obligated to provide her with anything. If they do, it's because they want to; and nobody wants to do favors for someone who treats them like dirt. I'm sorry for your SO. Hopefully someday his daughter will realize that he isn't the bad guy. HUGS Genny [/QUOTE]
