[QUOTE="missy44, post: 303501, member: 6201"] Well, difficult child is home. It appears as though his girlfriend forgot to mention to her roommate that she was allowing her boyfriend (my difficult child) to move in with her. That's the end of their "live in" relationship. On a good note, difficult child is enrolled in his college programme and my hubby and I decided not to help him financially for the first term. WE told him that if he proves to us that he is serious, we'll help him out next term. One of his friends (nice girl with wealthy parents) loaned him the remaining tuition funds he needed. I'm leary about this, but he seems determined to pay her back (slowly) and he did get a job this week. He seems excited about the programme he's in (child and youth worker) so my fingers are crossed. Education is so important to me and I really struggled with whether or not I would help him financially this term. I just couldn't. He had plenty of opportunity to work full time over the summer and save but he didn't. My hubby and I paid for quite a bit last year and he quit school and didn't even tell us. Thankfully i was able to get some payments waived so we wouldn't be on the hook for his full year. I'm surprised he found a way to get there. He went to the college today and turned in his books from last year, now he can buy used books for this year. He has a roof over his head, he doesn't have to pay rent when he's in college and we'll feed him. Why am I struggling with this decision? I"m sure I'll be fine tomorrow... Take care everyone...
