[QUOTE="ksm, post: 724003, member: 12511"] We have an appointment with her previous psychologist on Dec. 5th. I think D c enjoyed all the attention from the recruiter, got a lot of positive feedback from family and friends, and it added to her "high". She came home with a sprained ankle...which she did not report to Marines, as she felt they would keep her longer. I took her to the walk in (limp in!) clinic. Xrays negative. They gave her am ankle brace. I wonder how much insurance will pay? I am sure she never thinks of things like that. Yesterday, her older brother called and tried to encourage her to go back to marines or college. At age 8 he was placed with bio dad, at about the same time as we got custody of the girls. She was snarky and remarked that she wasn't lucky enough to have a dad who paid for college. That really ticked me off! I have tried since her senior year to get her to take ACT/SAT tests, complete FASFA application, enroll in just one class! She will never follow thru. DGS went to a community college for a year, now in second year at state university. He is not a gifted student. He has to work hard. Something his sisters don't want to do. I have told DGDs that I will reimburse them for any classes they take and pass. We are not rich, but we have put money back to cover legitimate costs if they want to further their education. (But it's not money that we will just hand over at a specific age.). If they really are "adulting I would be happy to help. I will not subsidize someone who us not willing to work and contribute to society. Ksm [/QUOTE]
