[QUOTE="ksm, post: 726020, member: 12511"] short update on older D c. You might remember this past years highlights. Jan 2017. Lost her job after 5 weeks at a diner for missing work too many times. Mar 2017. Started talking to Marine recruiter. Did delayed entry to Marines. Apr to Aug... Hung out with friends... Aug 2017. Started a job at a restaurant. Sep 2017. Walked off job to go to State Fair Oct. 2017. Worked one day at a different restaurant. Thought they would call her with schedule. But actually was suppose to go in the next day! Waited a week to check with them. Oct 23, 2017. left for boot camp Oct 28, 2017. Started the process to leave military. Nov, 13, 2017. Came home. Dec. 14, 2017. Asked to follow rules (come home at night, look for a job, all sorts of unreasonable expectations) Grabbed some of her stuff and left with guy of the week. Xmas - stopped by with the boyfriend. Yesterday, they stopped by, boyfriend says he is buying his grandparents vehicle for $200 a month, putting it in D c's name, cause insurance will be less. I don't know the price...but I am assuming the grandparents will still have the title until it's paid? Or maybe they will sign the vehicle over and expect payments? He is looking at renting a home in the town where he works. I guess right now they are staying part time with his folks, and part time with a friend. Just the math for all this scares me. If they get the rental house $550. They think $100 for utilities! Ha! His car ins...$230 a month. $200 for the car payments for grandparents car. More car insurance... These prices may not sound large for most people...but we live in a rural area and people don't have high wages or chances for moving up in jobs. I know I have to watch this play out... And I hate it. D c is not a horrible person. But she is not one to follow thru and make good decisions (hence the time line!) I am sure this guy is thinking...she will get a job and contribute to the expenses and they can make it work. I am sure his family thinks we kicked her out of the house, and he is saving this poor girl! She left because she didn't want to follow house rules. He's a nice kid. But this is like dejavu for me. 20 years ago my son tried to save D c's mom...who was pregnant with D c at the time. so, mostly just venting. The only thing I mentioned to boyfriend and Difficult Child was to be sure to check on the liability issues with buying the car from the grandparents... Ksm... [/QUOTE]
