[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 35870, member: 1967"] Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. To answer some of the questions: 1) difficult child has a computer and online access. She could pay the car insurance bill online. The problem is that she is usually short the money in her bank account on the day the payment is due. She works on a cash basis delivering pizza and usually plans on making the last cash she needs to pay the bill the day the bill is due. It is too late to deposit it in the bank and pay online. So she wants us to pay the bill with one of our credit cards and then brings us the money that night after she makes it it tips and pay. 2) She is paying her rent and utilities herself (although she did bounce a check last month for the rent ~ luckily the bank covered it for her and just charged her a $25 fee). The cell phone is mostly paid by her with an occasional request for us to cover it and then for her to pay us back the same day. 3) The car insurance is the only bill that seems to be a monthly problem. So I guess it really is a organizational and planning kind of problem. She can't seem to budget and put away the money in time to pay the bill online herself. I don't know if it is truly that she doesn't have the money until the last minute or that she just spends recklessly and finds herself without the money at the last minute. husband has suggested giving us some money each week and we would hold it for her but she didn't like that idea. So each month we get a last minute request to pay the insurance for her. She is good about bringing us the money that same night. She did mention that she has a possiblity of getting an office job from 9 - 3 that one of her friends is leaving. She said she would do that and still deliver pizza at night. I think she is getting tired of living week to week with no extra money at all. So I guess for now I'll let this go and see if she gets the other job. Maybe it would be easier then to pay the bills online without involving us. Thanks again for your thoughts. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
