[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 463148, member: 135"] If that's really an option, it sounds like the best one. It sounds like her mom and step dad have plenty of money to do this if they choose, but if they choose not to, you really can't force them to on your own. I don't know your situation: would this be a hardship on you or is it just another in a long line of stuff and you need to draw the line somewhere? Cgfg is a teen and will be out of school before you know it. Extracurricular activities are usually good for our difficult children. If this is something she really likes, it would be too bad for her to have to give it up, but it is also a lesson that kids need to learn that money does not fall from the sky and there is a limit to what people can do. I am still having the problem myself of how much to help my grown difficult children and how much to let them swing in the wind. It's hard to know when to say no and when to help. [/QUOTE]
