[QUOTE="Fran, post: 292259, member: 3"] The thing is she doesn't care and will not go to school to spite you. Somehow, it will be your fault. I think getting her started in college so that the college life "hooks" her is a smart move on your part. Once she [I]wants[/I] to be there is a good way to get her to do the right thing. I encouraged my baby sis to go for one semester. She was engaged and very anxious about going away to school. She got there and never looked back. The thought that she had an out to quit once she finished a semester went a long way. The whole disengagement will be a gradual process. It's not a light switch in my humble opinion. Maybe having a discussion about what the budget will be and what she needs to self support is something you have to keep reminding her. [/QUOTE]
